David Crandall Poet Ode

Notes About The Poem

11/8/2025 for My November Challenge: An Ode to _________ (ONE STANZA ONLY) Poetry Contest sponsored by Andrea Dietrich

An Ode to My Cerebral Cortex

My cerebral cortex - 
indeed, you are the vortex, 
processing my senses,
the place where joy condenses.
It's to you I owe
every pretty sky, 
each note that makes me sigh, 
and grandma's apple pie. 
Please don't ever go.

Gershon Wolf November 10, 2025 at 7:36 PM Funny, but I never conceived of my C.T. that way. Very imaginative of you. ~ Sexy Hippo on Campus David Crandall November 12, 2025 at 4:53 PM Thanks, that reminds me, the hippocampus is another body part that seems to get short shrift!
