Herb

I wanted my spice
having for far too 
long considered myself bland 
easy to chew easier 
to digest and low
on almost everything else 
but I wasn’t bland
I was an herb 
a compliment a tickle 
a delicate addition to 
almost everything where I 
was added a subtlety 
and yes even sometimes 
an afterthought but coming
after and to the 
rescue is the one 
thing most people remember 
and even more cherish
and keep as secret
