Hugs and Hormones
8/27/2016 11:52:01 AM


Copy and paste the link below and perhaps it will bring a smile to your lips.
From Pat Oplinger: YouTube of her poetry reading.

When the Fresh Breath anthology launching party was held by the Poetry Society of Tennessee-Northeast, they asked me to present one of the three poems they published. I chose "Hugs and Hormones". It is based on a science research article I read.Enjoy it!

The other two poems were "The Fallen", a Villanelle to honor those who fell in the battle in Normandy and "The Couple on the Six o'Clock News", in free verse that resulted from watching the daily news on TV.
