NPM 10: Nancy's Peeps Poetry


Nancy said she thinks hitting Peeps with a hammer is "just wrong," but she sent me this poem with the note:

"Something I wrote after reading your blog posts.
Not refined, just born."
.

April: national
poetry month

i want to write poetry again
thick and sweet
like Peeps
dirty and smoky
like Peeps blown up

i forgot the Easter baskets
my voice would not work for resurrection sunday

but the forsythia are blooming
from the bottom up

--Nancy L. Wade
