FIRST PLACE

BY THE STREETLAMP

       most nights . . .  I go for a walk
and rest at an old streetlamp
      one eve-  baked smells floated by
the comfort and warmth of bread ~ ~ ~
              and was back in gran's kitchen . . . 
                        the  s w e e t  aroma a hug
this girl 'savoring' a slice
               with creamy butter  d r i p p i n g . . .

Valsa George Date: 8/1/2025 7:31:00 PM Smell can induce memories in us. How the smell of bread, while sitting under the streetlamp, brought memories of your grandma. Beautiful. Congratulations, Constance on your first place win.
