In honor of National Poetry Month, I thought I’d reprint one of my poems here. This little poem was first published in Encore: Prize Poems of the NFSPS 2013 published by the National Federation of State Poetry Societies. It’s one of those I popped off quickly and sent out on a whim — only to have it get picked up immediately. I hope you enjoy!
Picnic
The freckles
on your body
are like
the wildflowers
in this field;
I want to
connect
each
dot
with my tongue –
I want to
see
if they
taste
like
sprinkles
or
pollen.
