Notes About The Poem

12/3/2024 for A Grounding Technique Poetry Contest sponsored by Sara Kendrick

Sense of Home

Pic's of friend's grandkids,
my son, his girlfriend 
A wooden mallard
A wooden mustang
My grandpa's paintings

My game keyboard
December chill
An itchy back
A cold, wet nose

Neighbor's chat
Creaking walls
Toasty dryer

Hot tea
ginger

Scone

I want to personally thank you for your entry in my contest. I am now wondering was that ginger tea or did he have a piece of gingerbread or gingerbread man cookie? It was so real like being there. Congratulations on your winner. Way to go. Sara K

Thanks Sara! It was just ginger tea. A few slices of ginger boiled in water. A gingerbread cookie sure sounds good, though.
