Prompt for this week is "sticky floors" and you don't have to be an established poet to submit a poem.
Thank you to Roger Waldron for your poem this week.
Invite
inviting me round
to talk over your
world beating veggie lasagna
you apologise for the kitchen
careful don’t stick to the floor
we talk about
being married
that B&B in Scarborough
where they asked if we wanted
dessert which turned out
to be Pears in sticky Rice Pudding
you asked
if we’d ever be a pair
again you asked if I would like
pudding afters etc
I declined all 3 careful not to stick
to your floor wondering
what makes you think like that
