So the purpose of this blog is to be a space to practice creativity. I am currently using it as a place to record a single, unedited poem for each day in 2019. While I attempt to write everyday, I may not actually post daily. Instead, I will post poems as they are completed, but one for everyday of the year. Not sure I can make it, but we'll see. It's fun to try regardless :)

Poem: April 24, 2019

Salsa, Baby

 The sweet and sticky kiss of the mango flesh,
the tiny spicy bites of the red onion,
the limes with their long pucker and smile,
the rough, heavy tongues of roasted red pepper,
the warm breath of the garlic that lingers,
and the sweat of the salt, dripping from the chip.
