At Mother's Knee

Each Monday we would sit at Mother's knee while laundry on rope lines dried in the wind. We practiced spelling words for Friday's test. With lessons done Mom would say, "Play time, girls!" November 19, 2020 Image #1 Eve Roper's Double Tetractys Contest

Looks like my original message disappeared like the wind drying sheets! I have such fond memories of practicing spelling words with my family. Your poem holds these little family moments and rituals in such a tender light! Lovely cadence. Congratulations on your win Jenna!
