A Healthy Serving Poem by Glen Martin Fitch

A sentence should be hard to the tooth,
never brittle,
never mushy,
but soft to the tongue.

A sentence should be long enough
to stay on the mind,
but never so long
it fights with you.

A sentence should hold a thought.
Too many, too short
fall off the tongs.
What's the point?

A sentence should be sticky
enough to hold the sauce.
Use wisely oily adverbs,
and spicy adjectives.

Pause your pace to savor each.
Nutritious, filling.
Easy to digest,
A sentence should be enjoyed.
