Lesbian Poetry

Recipe

Add a pinch of travesty-
You'll need to stir sometimes-
Then beat the dough
Relentlessly---

You're sure to get at least a rhyme

Fold in three, softly beaten eggs-
Drop now dreams of love-
Bread her heart quite
Heavily---

Words will steep from lips uncovered

Let her rise to simmer and whisk-
Blanche her for effect-
A touch of passion
Inflicted---

Hear now stanzas begin to connect

Grill the lady till golden brown-
Always be sure to baste-
Put in lifetime miseries
Occasioned---

Watch the poems begin to take shape

Cream together butter and flour-
Salt her aching soul-
Sift in two cups resilience
Unprocessed---

The final dish is nearly done

Clarify all remaining tears-
Toss them in with her-
Garnish with chilled empathy
Unsweetened---

This muse is ready to give you verse.
