Bio
I live and write on a barrier island off the Jersey coast where the wind and the waves fight for my attention. I write poetry in the same way a rosebush produces roses. I have no choice. Like breathing, it seems natural and essential. An idea germinates inside my head and lies down on the page of my notebook. My work writing poetry begins when I ask which words stay and which must go. The poem that grows from this must look as though no other choices could have been made. My sweat is my secret.

ANOTHER ODE TO CHOCOLATE

Rate: 0 Flag

                                               

 

                                                God surely invented chocolate,

Must have been on the eighth day.

It wasn’t Eve tempted Adam,

It was chocolate made him stray.

 

Before I’d give up chocolate,

My passion and heart’s desire,

I’d strip down to my underwear

And walk through brimstone and fire.

 

So if a thug waved his gun at me,

Said, “Your chocolate or you die!”

I’d kick him where it really hurts,

Then offer him chocolate cream pie.
