Cozy Apologia

• overall free verse but rhymes when talking about her husband
• enjambment shows consistent flowing love
• wrote whilst waiting for hurricane Floyd to hit 1999
• husband Fred also writer - shows admiration
• I could pick anything and think of you
• love is presented as ordinary and stable
• we're content, but fall short of the divine
• the glossy blue my pen exudes
• awkward reminiscences of teenage crushes on worthless boys
• still it's embarrassing, this happiness
• whose only talent were to kiss you senseless
• ends and starts talking about partner
• past relationships - sweet with a dark and hollow centre
