The Artist From The Inside Out

LOLLI #poetry by jay

Hand Holding a Red Lollipop

Written by

Artist/Poet_JayMoraShihadeh

in

Sop and sweet

Tea, on my breath

A side of Peach 

Lolli 

Pop On a stick 

Between

Your teeth

You smile 

Deep

Regret lingers

In the leaves

At the bottom

Of my tea

Cup, a solemn

Reprieve

Left inside 

A lost

Beginning

A chance of

Meetings

Always with

Tea and me

And Lolli

Hanging 

Mercilessly

Between your

Tattered

Broken teeth.

    That is a great piece of writing Jay! The line break and imagery is fabulous!😀
    “Lolli

    That is superb!!! Both the breaks and imagery😜😅
    What is implied perfectly pitched behind the scenery!
