Some Inspired-By Poetry:
from Ms. D.

Chocolate, chocolate
dark and tasty,
I must slow down and
not be hasty.
When I devour you too fast,
All pleasure from you is in the past!


Black cat
pacing,
tail whipping back
and forth,
nervous,
eyes glued on her hours-old babies
as I gently lift each
and then return it
to the towel-lined cardboard box.
