Magpie Tales Photo Prompt 87: Universal Language





tangents




love prepared 
a feast in 


tangy tangents
of our fervor


in  nearness 
of even the 
smallest view 
of want 


beyond our 
needs.

  1. Hmmm...there are many ways one can go hungry or feast. Nice take.

  2. tangy tangents - another example of English spelling problems - no rule here, just memorization - the letter g indeed - say it soft but use it hard or as "f" when "h" is added, or even silent (trough, through). You could hate the English language. I think some do.

  8. I guess I have to go with the majority: "the smallest view of want" is an absolute winner.
