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 August 1, 2025 at 7:31 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. Constance La France August 3, 2025 at 6:08 PM Valsa, my grandma's kitchen always smelled of bread baking, or pies, or cookie, thank you for the compliment, comment and congratulations, blessings ~
