Taste of Mellow

The gods of old, in their abodes,

Did taste of mellow's bitter tones.

Ambrosia's sweet, with honeyed hues,

Pales in comparison, they muse.


For mellow's taste is melancholy,

A syrupy sadness, thick and wholly,

That drips from lips of bittersweet,

A nectar made for souls to weep.


So let the tears fall freely now,

As gods themselves taste mellow's howl.

This was my second poem for the word prompt, and I was contemplating a while ago on which is which. hahah😅
So tell me guys if this one's much better than what I used for the Versification. (Though I can't change my entry, since it's already submitted.🥺) And I'm very much open for constructive criticisms, so feel free to interact with me. ❤️🥰
