Newton Ranaweera Poet Quatrain

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.

Constance La France November 18, 2020 at 6:23 AM 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 Newton Ranaweera November 18, 2020 at 1:23 PM Thank you so much, Constance, for this impressively great comment and the affirmation!!
