Hunger tastes of honey

I agree with Alcuin about shortening the first stanza. Ex;

When first we met

the poetry bound us

Fingering words, one by one.

I love the concept as well, it works extremely well and I happen to like the 'grins'...they make it real.

One other little thing, in the second stanza you start off in past tense in the first line and then in the fourth you move to present tense. I don't know it this was intentional or not but I would suggest staying with one tense all within the same stanza.

Great write, wonderful read.
