Words slipping through your sweet, lying tongue,
smell as fragrant as wildflowers in bloom.
But when they went inside my heart and my mind,
your tasty letters are cursed with unending gloom.

The Tango is an invented stanzaic form introduced by Chiquita LoJuana Gonzolas Sills.
The Tango is:
- stanzaic, written in any number of quatrains.
- syllabic, 9-10-11-12 syllables per line.
- rhymed, xaxa xbxb etc. x being unrhymed.
Ooooh, yes–well done lines woven with fierce thread.

Sweet words that are tasty. But the words are lies, and so the treat becomes a curse. Sounds like a folktale, sister, your very own. And for us. Great work!
