My One Conceit Poem by James McLain
My One Conceit
Make my mouth yours
And place my tongue on
your roof, better to form
my words,
before I speak them in poetry.
So take my thoughts
pressed hot to your ear,
so I can know your one
my self,
and make of me your other.
While my voice, when you
return it,
was hard used, for the better of we.
Curious title on this strangely stirring poem. thanks for this one (smile)
'make my mouth yours'...beautiful beginning...and throughout.....
Most lovely phraseology and use of words to perfection. HG: -) xx

I like the sound of your One Conceit! She obviously sweeps you off your, male dominating feet, but! She obviously also keeps you and your poetry sweet. And that is all that matters... Smiling at you Tai
