eat, drink, and be merry (or in this case, married)

Later today, Jon and I are headed to Jackson, Wyoming for the wedding of one of my boarding school friends. In college, I spent a summer there with this friend and three others; it is gorgeous country. Jon has never been, and I can't wait to introduce him to it all.

While I am gone, please enjoy these two poems by Li-Young Lee (I have been smitten with his words since I "discovered" the poem "Persimmons" last week. The first is called "Eating Together" and falls into the realm of the PT food prompt; the second is a tender poem called "The Gift."

Head on over to Poetry Thursday to link to more poems.
