Constance La France Poet Quatrain

Notes About The Poem

My ''Inherited'' Greed

 
My blessed dearest mother was a hoarder of food,
our cupboards and freezer where over flowing;
this inherited "greed" in me I have subdued,
rest in peace mom-   MY battle is still on going !

James Marshall Goff June 26, 2022 at 9:02 AM Smiling Constance! I like to keep 3wks food/water on hand, most everyone I know does similar, easier this time of yr, as freshies are always poppin' in my community garden plot & visits to farmers markets are such a delightful outing to take ma to, plop her down with coffee & a roll she's in heaven people watching! Constance La France June 27, 2022 at 11:29 PM James, thank you so much for your visit to my poem, I love that you have a garden plot, and go to farmers markets with your ma, sounds delightful, I used to do things like that with my mother, blessings ~Constance

Aurore Severo June 22, 2022 at 12:32 AM I sure get that :) Constance La France June 22, 2022 at 7:48 PM Aurore, lol, yes sometimes 4 for $ is not such a bargain when you are throwing away, 3 ! I have had to really walk away from those kinds of sales and just by one of whatever, and it has to be actually something I need. blessings ~Constance

FJ Thomas June 21, 2022 at 8:20 PM A major accomplishment Constance. I hope you have been well :) Constance La France June 22, 2022 at 7:50 PM FJ, nice to hear from you, I am well and hope you are too. Yes, it is a struggle sometimes to not slip back into the food hoarding thing, but I just keep reminding myself how much food does one girl need, blessings ~Constance
