Springerle

This poem is autobiographical. Springerle were good cookies to send to American troops in Germany during the Second World War because they had no butter. Only three ingredients; eggs, butter, and flour. I have my own mold, now, and bake them every December.

The poem is published in Hawaii Pacific Review: https://hawaiipacificreview.org/2019/04/29/springerle/?fbclid=IwAR1Ruv_vANQiSA4KYGif8pBqJpkoRtZ_8ihcEGNcj-Se5pYbl19Ycn-bIPM

No Moon Midnight

I'm so pleased that Moria published my poem "No Moon Midnight" and with a stunning photo of a sunset. This one received much praise on Facebook. How baffling than something so personal is what resonated with so many--but that's practically a definition of poetry.
