Inside familiar folds of my hanging apron
I encounter a blinkless miniature figurine
Glossy, posable, plastic as a Lego creation
Loyal component of kitchen enforces routine
Breakfast allures with buttery muffins toasted
Lunch- a- lot predicts sandwich towers teetering
Dinner calls for lavish legs of livestock roasted
Day which follows knows a sequence repeating
Pack away cycle of soap, soak, replace, bench polishes
Scouring for recipes, Lego lady's eyes neatly smile
Cinnamon wafting whirlwind with servitude accomplishes
Devourers' belches earn her Master Caterer title
Beneath bed, which ejects me at six am alarm
Failed slipper search produces palm sized plaster sculpture
Icing faced, eyes without memory, eternally calm
Solid base she stands on stops commotion from toppling her
Nine am sees my arrival, politely inquiring co-operation
Afternoon forgets to yawn, incessant key tapping keeps on
Harsh carpark steps echo, repell dusk's contemplation
Traffic jams tomorrow's chasms, where dreams hold reunion
Crisp gives way to crinkles, plaster sculpture refutes
Her congeniality and aptitude due to exhaustion
Chalky cheeks split with encouragements' overuse
Legs held as one are motionless to express discourse
Steam escaped open door shows mirrored me showered
Bounce of towel buffed flesh rises in delightful nonchalance
Droplets of conciousness roll a path cleansed in empowerment
Serpent tongue hair saturates time, attacks life with vehemence
"I carry your heart with me (I carry it in my heart) I am never without it"
Quote _ by E.E. Cummings
Your touches, kisses, embraces; and each loving gesture;
Your angel-filled, heaven-filled even phantom-filled stories;
Your flavorful delicacies; thoughtfully-spun vesture;
Your care when I was ill, more than my mother, for my ease...
I competed, at your thrust, picking cashew-nuts and plums,
Your encouragements made me successful in little works;
Though I could find never a single tooth in your pink gums,
There was a miraculous balm in your smile, with no smirks...
Your dutifulness, compassion, warmth, affection and trust,
Coolness in dealings; respect to all, full of innocence;
Never feeling bored, as with everything you could adjust;
Optimism and other virtues have become my essence...
Rest In Peace, O Grandma, at the hands of eternity,
Until we meet again in heavenly fraternity...!

3rd place, "Pick a Friend on Soup" Poetry Contest
Sponsored by Bobby May; judged on 9/27/2019.
At night she comes to say hello.
Adorned me with love and beauty.
Shining her soft, caresses light on her earth child.
Whisper sweet encouragements in my ears.
Shower me with sweet kisses on my cheeks,
Tell me her deep secrets.
Where she hide during day light,
And about all the lovers that come at night.
How she wept for human kind.
When they are consumed with hate.
And how she prayed with those who lost their faith.
Her beauty never fades.
Even if she sometimes changes shape.
Remind us although we not always whole,
And go through different phases, we must never lose hope.
She will constantly watching us.
Inspiration sometimes comes from the least likely places
It can be found in a smile or in a silent prayer
Sometimes, you can feel it after a gentle rain shower
Other times, it dances through the breeze
And can even be seen in the brightest sunflower
Inspiration may be discovered within a heart who listens
Never interrupting, but always intent on even the whispers
Of one who needs to be heard and cared for
With a attentive ear who knows how to bring cheer
With kindness, affection and the gift of giving love
Inspiration might be found on the horizon, in twinkling starlight
Penetrating the shadows of night with the moon beam
Breaking the morning dawn with a shining sunlight ray
Capturing the new day with colorful explosion of flowery escapades
Sending out hues of delight across the indigo mountains
Inspiration comes alive in the breath of a heart’s insight
Sighing reflections of compassion and promise, murmuring
Faith and hope into the heart of those who listen with a desire
To know the One who brings a teardrop out of the pain
Erasing all doubt that there is relief in the weeping thought
Inspiration brightens the day with its blushing sensitivity
Caressing the spirit with praise for those encouragements
That fill lives with hope and hearts with new ways to cope
Lighten the load for those who hold onto so much worry
And give the broken a intact God to relieve the heartaches
Inspiration knows… the gift of giving from the heart
With only the hope that comes from knowing
It’s only in the giving that we are really living!

In the football field of life, vastly wide
We play various roles, of which we take pride
By standards and rules we abide
While toward victorious goal-scoring, we stride!
For rejuvenation time-out moments
We delight in cheerers’ encouragements
Along various sponsors’ refreshments
Thanking the Lord for His grace endowments!
With my faith-driven championship fervor
I trust God, my Coach, for wisdom’s favor
Praying to Him for my service-endeavor
Reaching-out triumphs* I sweetly savor!
*Psalm 25:2 O my God, I trust in thee: let me not be ashamed, let not mine enemies triumph over me.

You gave me charity, hospitality, and love
You gave me charity, hospitality, and love
You gave me charity, hospitality, and love
I was hungry, you gave me food
You gave me meat to eat
I was thirsty you gave me drink, that's sweet
And I was a stranger you took me in
Housed me for a moment placed a roof over my head
Naked and shamed shoe less you clothes me
I was torn weary and sick
Still you took me in,took me in
You gave me
You gave me charity, hospitality, and love
You gave me charity, hospitality, and love
You gave me charity, hospitality, and love
I was in prison and you came to me
And as a stranger you took me in
You hugged me, shown love toward me
You gave me monies, encouragements, food and more, it's true
I was torn, weary, and sick
Yet you told me I was yet blessed
I was hungry, you gave me food
You gave me meat to eat
I was thirsty you gave me drink, that's sweet
And I was a stranger you took me in
Housed me for a moment placed a roof over my head
Naked and shamed shoe less you clothes me
I was torn weary and sick
Still you took me in,took me in
You gave me
You gave me charity, hospitality, and love
You gave me charity, hospitality, and love
You gave me charity, hospitality, and love

Written words by James Edward Lee Sr. ©2010
Here, I am,
Before your altar I stand, oh, PoetrySoup,
At attention,
In awe,
Not out of fear, but out of respect,
With my heart filled with gratitude,
Ready, an offering to make:
This humble new book of mine,
That
Was conceived among your poetic pages, and
Was nurtured under the watchful eyes of my fellow poets,
Who,
For almost twelve years now,
With their criticism,
Their encouragements, and
Their appraisals,
Helped me put it together.
THANK YOU ALL!
