tangents
love prepared
a feast in
tangy tangents
of our fervor
in nearness
of even the
smallest view
of want
beyond our
needs.

Hmmm...there are many ways one can go hungry or feast. Nice take.
ReplyDeletetangy 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.
ReplyDelete"...the smallest view of want"...I love that...

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