Poetry a la tartare

Count me raw or medium rare but never well done

the meat of words I share still crawling from the stun

carry the smell of life as they bleed across my plate

cut with a pen as knife, very few, so as not to be overweight

Seared on flames of strife, smelling of smoke of the past

seasoned with the salt of life, to be eaten hot and fast

Canned phrases taste bland, lines overcooked loose their color

A poem\'s menu may be planned, too big a serving couldn\'t be duller
