Let slip the poets words
After a flagon of pims and beer
Seeing in junes thursty days
Wheel clamping winters cold wind
Let slip the poets cuses
After a flagon of violence and greed
Seeing in peaces first days
Wheel clampng violence and greed
written for the #quadrille with the prompt slip
“Let slip the poets words”- great line!

I think the poet will be the receptacle for both the bliss and the curses… I hope someone will listen.

I like all the little slips in spelling, which must make this a concrete quadrille! Don’t let it slip, it’ll be heavy! My words would slip after a flagon of pims and beer.

Yes, the poet’s words shall slip….and they should. We are blessed to have the ability to channel it.

I usually think of “slip” as a quiet word, but by using “let slip” you completely change the power here.

Great opening line. (I think you might be missing an ‘i’ from the second clamping.
