Lick MAG

This tongue may slip
on words and tongue-twisters,
R's may not roll.
But this tongue is a vessel of language.
This tongue likes to talk,
and this tongue expresses thought.
I have not a forked tongue,
an easily morphed tongue.
This tongue has integrity.
This tongue has taste.
This tongue is in cheek,
it is sharp, not weak.
But this tongue stays in check.
I bite this tongue.
Not too much, however;
there is greatness on the tip of this tongue.

Its nice that the tongue seems to symbolize you as a whole. I love the title, its cool that you dont use the word in your poem because you did not need to. It has great meaning also, great job.

"My role in society, or any artist's or poet's role, is to try and express what we all feel. Not to tell people how to feel. Not as a preacher, not as a leader, but as a reflection of us all."
This is great!
