Can we collaborate with another poet on YWS?
I am nothing
but a mouthful of 'sorry's, half-hearted
apologies that roll of my tongue, smoothquick, like 'r's
or maybe like pocket candy
that's just a bit too sweet.

I'm sorry, random, but is there a walkie-talkie in that boot? No, wait, that's a flag, I can see the stars. Haha, nothing says Christmas like an American flag in your snow-covered boot! :D

Can we put the image of my inspiration in my post?
Need some feed? Then read some! Take a look at today's Squills at In the News.
