Scott Harris Poet Rhyme

Notes About The Poem

When I was a young boy, my Grandmother (Nan), would take me shopping with her and we would always stop and she would buy me a cream cake.  Long before she passed she promised me she would come back and see me after had passed away, if there was anyway she could find to do so.  Years later she did exactly that, when on a train from France, the meal service included a little cream cake.  One bite and the taste sent my memories spinning - It was like she was right there with me....I like to believe she was...

Cream Cake

Little cream cake on the train from France 
Lit a fire in my mind and my heart began to dance 
Memories buzzing through my brain 
Thanks for the visit, I'm glad you came

Filled with fondest memories
Of days spent with you, heart full, carefree 
Loved and adored, my moment in the sun 
No doubt in your eyes that I was number one

Long ago you and I made a pact you see
You said, if you could, you'd come back to me 
It's been a long time, didn't know how long you'd take 
And just right then, you jumped out of my cream cake

I know love has no end cos yours is still with me 
Whispering I'm here and will always be 
For you I live my life like my life is at stake 
Thanks Nan for your visit and for my cream cake

Danka Sikorska September 18, 2014 at 4:12 AM Great poem, very moving... Reading it I felt like if it was me talking to my grandma. I can see that you easily express your thoughts and feelings, I mean, not everyone is able to put that in words, you can and you do it in a very beautiful way.

Matt Godek September 17, 2014 at 10:41 PM Your works flow very evenly. It rolls off the tongue nicely and in an evident rhythm that is emphasized by the two line rhyme couplets. Love your style man, would love to hear what you think of some if my work...good stuff regardless.
