Big Tent Poetry Prompt for this week:
This wordle + this phrase “There is also the matter of ____” = this ditty of a poem.
Harlequin Fragment Read Over a Shoulder
There is also
the matter of flame,
its typical boyish
parade that often
defies smile. Leads you
to question your gasps a-
wake, their tangled,
necessary slips.
But, ah, how we
knew all along:
the thighs have it.
PS -- A bit of attempt at syllabics too, sort of, kind of, my own pattern...

I just had using every word in mind. Whatever it ended up "meaning" = serendipity!
