"wooden spoon of joy." That line takes me back to a kitchen in 1970 mixing up some brownies and licking the spoon clean - I also recall the wooden spoon being a source of punishment - interesting dichotomy. I don't even know if that is correct word, but sounds like it.
Such an interesting take. Wooden spoon was a nod to my Italian grandmothers and stirring the pots. Thanks for reading. We need to catch up in person. 🦋
Oh I love your poem! And what a great list of poets. Many of my favorites in there.
Happy April! 🌸💗
Thank you!! There was another poet I read earlier in the winter but I cannot remember his name. 🫠 Or the book. Wishing you a wonderful April!
