A Glutton for Joy

A glutton for joy, 
Her table is a feast of choices 
Exotic herbals, cinnamon, saffron, 
Crystalline carafes, 
Flagons of honey and cream; 
Her oven has been busy, bustling, 
Warming voluptuous treats; 
After we ladle strawberry delight 
Onto our octopus tongues, 
We scurry to our seats  
Where she uncorks robust poems  
She has hoarded umpteen years 
From crannies of the internet  
And toothsome books  
She has gnawed on   
Again and again and again; 
We drool as her blissful voice rings  
Truth and celebration, 
Our pens bursting to lunge  
Across the omnivorous page
