Salivate

This is almost a ghazal -- but not quite!

It seeps onto our pillows

in the night. We spit!

 

We swap it with our

kisses tight. We spit!

 

It flows when dentists

line our teeth up right. We spit!

 

We get it when

confectionaries delight. We spit!

 

It sprays right out

when we excite. We spit!

 

We do it when we’re

tired of your shite. We spit!

we do .. yes we do .. its like a constant companion for most .. and direly missed when it runs out .. to the death even ;)
unusual topic and a bit of humor to boot! :)

I don't know that I have ever given this much thought to saliva. I do like the approach to a topic that i have never seen written about. May I ask what provoked this topic?

There's $10 for anybody who can come up with a good reason for me to have written this poem! I honestly don't know, sometimes things just pop into my head... But I think maybe it was that, in a collection of poems I was reading, there was a poem about urine, and two about poop... So I had to add to the milieu?
