Dip deep the ladle, in the poets flowing river.
Let the words quench your thirst for rhyme,

Like a fine wine, I drink in the words; twirl them around my tongue,
Then let slip down my throat,  
Knowing they will make me high with their meanings.

Inhale of the bouquet and cherish the thrill,
As you devour the dreams of the poet.

The answer is always NO, Until the question is asked.
