Iris E. Sankey- Lewis Poet Prose

FOR THE LOVE OF HOME

Once at home,
Sharing yellow/green guavas, 
Grown on tested soil
Across waters,
I stood vulnerable, 
Yet observed...
Such extension caused salivation.

And as I entreat 
With gel of such,
Strangers, 
Familiar pallets, 
Some said, "Cheers!"

I at once 
Was held accountable -
So, I returned 
To pruning and prayed.
My muse's thumb grew greener.
