For Sara Kendrick's A Grounding Technique Poetry Contest

_____________________________________________________________________

Mom in her apron
to the kitchen goes;
I watch her get out
ingredients that
she puts into rows.

Bubbling in me
is a child’s glee;
no meagerness
of eagerness!

The oven
door opens
and closes.

Love the
smell of

Pies!

I want to personally thank you for your entry in my contest. Interesting way to go with this one. Didn't most of us enjoy those days when mother did the cooking. I think sometimes about things that she did that were so delicious like three story pie and fried apple pies. Congratulations on your winner. Way to go. Sara K

Smell from the kitchen especially while baking things is so pleasant and tempting. The pie is mouth watering. I thought I must list five things I see in the first stanza and so on. So my poem sounds quite drab.

you really should write for this challenge. I love this kind of contest. Glad you liked my meagerness line. It's the only existing rhyme for eagerness!
