v informal here folks, but here's my poetry. 

The L in Love

Oh honey, how she crawls - the creep

A word there to expunge.

It settles on my tongue.


I kneel at prayer, low on a steep-

The word is a bitter plunge.

Oh honey, how she crawls- the creep


They gulp down words with minds asleep,

And try to rinse the grunge.

It settles on my tongue.


A pill to swallow on troubles heap-

With sadness like a sponge.

Oh honey, how she crawls- the creep


That gray word in a garden I reap-

I grasp when my legs lunge.

Oh honey, how she crawls- the creep

It settles on my tongue.
