1st place in the contest
Will always keep my heirlooms
Great grandmother's church shawl,
for the pew in a prayer
A pretty peacock hairpin,
my grandmother loved
Antique china tea set,
with hand painted cherry blossoms
A jewelry box with a silk bottom,
my mother's pearls
they smell of anemones and lavender
Inspired by the story,
the last woman has died
Remembering theirs sense of humor,
and gift for puns
Nothing but warm anticipation
of my heart and my fingertips
a cocoon that envelops me
Keep the meaning of a simple memory
echoing through time
