This month’s Versed in Florida is with Sara Comito. She graduated with an English degree from the University of Massachusetts Lowell, and has been living in Fort Myers for the past 13 years. Comito works as communications editor for a local PR and Marketing agency. Her poetry has appeared in dozens of print and electronic journals and anthologies. Undeterred by the small size of their square city lot, she and her stonemason husband are urban farmers and beekeepers which, she tells WGCU’s Amy Tardif, is a muse for her poetry.

Goals for tonight:
fly from rocky cliffs
swim with otters
simplify the tax code
engage in a trite oneuppance
with a drunk cummings
sleep it off
and dream
To do:
plumb the more modern lines
do something Zen
use Zen as an adverb
catch my neighbor's eye
as he does laundry
hang mine in surrender
hear it flap in the breeze. It's so nice
to be under something else's power
and let it be like sailing,
which I've never done
and dream
does it rock so —
or so?
Sew a blanket with sleeves
make a million bucks
shear a sheep — shear anything!
And sell the wool for a trout.
Make breakfast.
Done.
