On Sending a Love Poem

So that poem I said I wrote a poem about, a couple posts back. Well here is the meta poem...

Grains of Paradise

Medieval spice traders sold a variety of peppercorn called Grains of Paradise when they couldn't get their hands on black pepper. They claimed that it was taken from the stream that flows out of the garden of Eden as a way of inflating the price.
They are still available through specialty spice traders and they have a lovely, complex, rich flavor.

Accidental Sonnets

I actually wrote a sonnet entirely on accident the other day, and it was halfway decent but it was for two very specific people, so I won't post it here.

Grease Burns and Coffee Stains

Flash fiction and poetry, what is this, 2009? Hopefully I'm better now than I was then.

How I Will

Hmmm... I guess I'm in a mood tonight
