    Some days the words simply don’t come…

    But I think they came for you.

    I like the way the words seem to drip down the page, and how you combined the hunger for food with the need to write poetry .

    How your poem demonstrates the interconnection of all things on our lives, as words are food for poets and music to the eyes and ears of readers.

    I hunger for words to
    summon an unsullied smile

    Where emotions intrude between loved ones one is at a loss for words. It is naturally the truth, Sanaa! Agreed!

    Oh, that sweet (and sometimes ravenous) longing for that which we wish we could make ours–right now, a cup of coffee and a cinnamon bun would make me the happiest of souls.
