winter comes quickly one day all is pristine white - cars snow covered ships This is when mother made her robust stew vegetables and beef in the pot she threw the aroma filled the house all were sniffing like a mouse meat so tender we barely had to chew we loved the gravy would dip bread to soak it up- till there was none left ____________________ January 20, 2022 Poetry/Haiku/Limerick/Monoku/Can Still Hear Mom Yelling - HLM Copyright Protected, ID 01-1431-186-20 All Rights Reserved, 2022, Constance La France Written for the Standard contest, Charlie Hai-Lim-Ku sponsor, Charles Messina, Judged 03/11/2022 Second Place

You mom was a wise woman. She got her children to eat some food items that they probably would not have eaten separately but when combined they gobbled down. I really like this one. I enjoyed reading it. It reminds me of my soup that I prepare about twice a month, but my husband still fusses. I love it but for some reason he sees it as food for someone who is sick. LOL..Your visit to my page was revivifying. Sara
