Notes About The Poem

Can Still Hear Mom Yelling - Hlm

 
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

Sara Kendrick January 21, 2022 at 5:16 AM 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 Constance La France January 21, 2022 at 2:37 PM Sara, thanks for the comment, my Mom and Grandma made the best stews. I am so happy you like my poem ~
