I sought sanity
in the taste of your lips,
but the sweetness was
too much to savor,
so I settled for
madness instead.

Really well put together, you said everything that another person would need a lot more space to say, that’s the sign of a craft weaver of wordage my friend

Aw, thank you, love! It’s taken me a long time to develop my micropoetry skills. It’s not perfect, and I tend to like to go a little deeper, but I found it to be suited for this one. 😊 😊 xoxo

I think it’s a real skill because whilst I sometimes like writing shorter poetry and sometimes aim deliberately for very long poetry, to control both the way you do, is definitely skill indeed my friend xo

Believe me, it took me a long time to figure it out. Don’t think less of yourself if you’re still working on it. 💖
