I can still smell the scent of pickling spice drifting through the house- a pickle is just a cucumber, whether it is a cuke, spear, or coin in a brine of white vinegar, water, spices and pickling salt and left to ferment for days, weeks, sometimes years but still remain always cool and so crunchy forever crispy- no matter the length delightfully sour, the most is best low calorie snack for anytime or addition to a sandwich and just plain delicious oh, I crave a pickle _______________________ February 21, 2020 Poetry/List/Grandma's Dill Pickle Copyright Protected, ID 20-1227-376-03 All Rights Reserved, 2020, Constance La France Submitted to the Standard contest, Your Fav poem not for a contest sponsor, John Hamilton Seventh Place
