Mac & Cheese

 

Plated memories

Macaroni and cheese

Who could imagine?

(Maybe a few)

Always on anniversaries,

birthdays, mood days,

and more

She baked it for the children

Her daughter begged the recipe

It was not like “ordinary”

Mac & cheese, she said

Now it’s her daughter who bakes

Better than her’s

Everything improves when

passed on

Who would have thought?

A recipe fuelled with love,

all these years

a cliche perhaps

No matter, with each serving

Memories come, new ones

are made

Nostalgia burns

5. Comfort/dis-comfort food
Write a poem describing a scene 

that involves comfort food and the

 solace it gives you. 

Inuendo

 

The pungent scent of 

cherry blossoms 

dissipates as she leaves

the park

She’s been reflecting

Innuendo has it that she

has lost again

The old refrain repeated

over and over

She could almost 

feel nostalgic

“Unlucky at love”

“bitter and aging”

She smiles

Almost benevolent 

toward gossips who

can’t perceive 

her joys repeated

again and again

Because of her courage

to flow 

and grow

and

let go

Nostalgia

overcomes me

a longing

for my wilderness

home

I ruminate on

the trees

the lake

the moldering leaves

my dog

The scents and scenes

slipping away

as

I rush

to catch
