A Poem Born In a Kitchen

A high-born poem in a kitchen creeps as fumes Through the chimney with a true tale of its creator, Who softly sobs, sighs or bemoans; in air it blooms With metaphor petals and sound fragrance, greater.

That’s a fabulous poem Newton, poems get born in the strangest places, something heard, something read, sometimes when you’re lying abed... Belle

Newton, wonderful poem, I could say I am a poet born in a kitchen too for as a child I would listen to my Grandma's stories with wide eyed wonder at the kitchen table and I think that is when the seed was planted in my mind _Constance

I love your poem, Newton. The rhymes are perfect and the rhythm carried me along. Gifted verse. Keep writing and, please, keep sharing.
