The Secret of The Gobstopper


How does the flavor stay in my mouth if this is sugar free gum? Wonka was not there to answer my question It was the person he gave the rights of his company to that stood in front of me, who I asked He told me slyly " I was told by Wonka to keep that information top secret, nobody can know, not Even children like you can know about it" Years later we discovered that what really kept the candies flavor fresh in our mouths was a trick devised by Wonkas top food scientists, the Oompa Loompaa add chemicals.

Poetry is important to my life because it gives me a way of saying things I never imagined were in me. My poems deal with all kinds of subjects, my attitude on today's culture, art, corporations, nature, etc. But these aren't the only things that I write about in my poetry. I don't have a favorite poet, but probably Michael McClure is the poet I have learned the most from, from his readings on YouTube.
