Flash Secret

Brimming love potion at sunrise ornate cookies of motherhood, drape our savored taste buds; 'Oh! She must love to cook'. Sliding 'neath her pillow of dusk, mom's poetry flashes secrets.

This poem brings back strong memories, Aditi. I enjoyed watching mum cook, and although I imitate all she did, I can never seem to bring back to life the taste and aroma of her cooking! ~ Congratulation son your fine and deserved win. Regards // paul

I think it is more about you and kids, given your own poetic finesse. Congrats.

Aditi, I concur with Jenish, the sixth line is my favorite. My children were lucky to have a mom who was a poet in the kitchen. Lovely sentiments in evocative words. Well done, and best wishes in the hexastich it contest ~ John
