Five Little Words: At the Public House

Rate: 29 Flag

at the public house

 

Spittle kisses, kisses far

Barred and cloaked,

The oak and tar.

Tarnished lyre 

The fire stoked

Upon the spit,

Death ajar.

Amazing. It is amazing how unique and creative writers can be with five words.
Thank you (for the information and your poem).

Your non-reporting work is now outshining your reporter stuff, Kathy. Not that the reporting is insufficient. And for some, it is what pays the bills. But in my mind, it is your "free-hand" efforts that suggest the depth of your talent. Nice job! {{{R}}}

Wow!! This just blew me away.

Sorry, all. I was at the movies. Lea, no, the poem came organically, and the picture followed. Art, take heart. Thanks all for your kind words and for appreciating mine, and my efforts here.
Lovely words. Lovely image. rated!
Is it the fire and spittle that shakes up death, at least for a moment? Nice work.
I'm never going to this bar. It sounds horrible. I don't care if they have ladies two for one shots.
Flaming Dr. Peppers, Ms. Freaq.
Having just read Rita's Tumbleweed, spittle kisses seems to just flow right along.
