Editorial Note

 As always, the next installment of The Blue Dog Journal is imminent. While we wait and see in which direction the narrative will next take me, I offer this selection of poetry from part II, chapter seven. As true readers will recollect, the following piece, O Chocolate! My Chocolate, was written by Ginny and appeared in The Broken Heart Review.

O Chocolate! My Chocolate

When I was young

you were the only one

to kiss my lips

and tickle my tongue.

 

Now I’m older,

my body has changed,

and things can never

be the same.

 

I used to love

your bars and chips

but you broke my heart

and went straight to my hips.
