foodie fodder

You all know how much I adore writing about food.

If letters were morsels and words delicacies,
I could craft stories worthy of menus in the best eateries.
Each dish a poem, each course an essay,
I’d write of tapas, pizza and amuse bouche.
I would stir slang and spices, mix with real sustenance,
Pour phrases on to the page with culinary competence.
If only I could find a way to marry the vinegar and oil,
Of a career built of gastronomy and days of keyboard toil.

I also had a story published recently in Alternatives Newsmagazine. Well, it was actually more of a press release, but it still ended up in print. I’ve also been tracing some of the other branches in Myrtle Beach’s interconnected publishing scene and have a few promising leads. We’ll see…
Once again, I find myself in a space where I'm encouraged to write more. I'm hoping some of these liquid thoughts will gel enough to make it to the blog. Blogging is good for me, I know.
