I'm less a poet than a short story writer, but let's say I dabble from time to time, never really satisfied by the result but willing to give voice to some of the more conscript draftees... 

Ambivalence

 

Castoff regrets, transitory sorrows… sugar-dipped troubles

spread thinly across sallow lips of doubt;

kissed… tempted by prodding, moist tongues of worry, 

yet yielding only to the stout staff of despair…
