Karen Jones Poet Rhyme

Grilled Cheese

Days melt like grilled cheese
Hot humid events stick to people or peeps
So much to ponder of old of new
Still thoughts drift back to who?

On your mind was it a chase
Of heart the one who got away
Was it a joy one you made
That in time grew into another thing great?

Was it remembering a friend who passed
Who's humor still fresh gives laughs
Was it a pet so loyal and true
That your mind unwinds drifts to?

Was it the little ones at that age
When pitter patter were normal days
Or a loved family member
Who never forgets what you cannot remember?

Grilled cheese sandwich with tomato soup
What memory does that give to you?

Marikate Kingston January 10, 2022 at 4:09 PM This poem brought back memories for me of Vermont in the summer, craft fairs, fishing, warm rains and my aunt and me doing the crossword at the lake also ironically the grilled cheese and tomato soup I had a the diner two weeks ago! This was so pretty and clever. I've read it over and over. I loved it so much. Karen Jones January 19, 2022 at 4:54 PM What a lovely memory thank you for sharing it with me!
