Brief Description: I was drinking tea while gathering the words for the vocabulary and I just wrote about what I saw or thought about as I walked out of the kitchen. The other words came from making my morning coffee and cooking breakfast before going to work. The phrases turned out to tell a story with lots of minty things.

My favorite lines are“oranges burnt burnt caught fresh grass” and “egg out” because they give you an amusing, visceral image, which I drew upon to make a few sketches during my hand-written composition.

The word doc version has the appropriate font changes.ART_poem_final
