With Love From Holland.... Poem by Sylvia Frances Chan

With Love From Holland....

my simple morning-brew,
not old but brandnew!

as a woman i display them
as reliable as blurry
the longer i have checked and investigate,
the least best
they are no update,

i must confess
it is not so good to eat white Cianjur rice,
but with boiled brown potatoes
i have only woes,

so i continued brewing,
amongst corona pandemic hystery,
i cling
no mystery
and kept brewing that night,

comforting words,
are the best herbs,
i refound my old life back,
in this trek,
no cooked white Cianjur rice
or were they white lies?
no boiled brown potatoes,
gone are the woes,

each day anew,
i prepare a cherished brew
of green vegetables and something new,
something very healthy, a few

consuming the most delicious food,
something very simple but the best,
with the brightest light, i attest
i continued cooking, upcoming in my pan
comforting words, i stir as i can
yes, absolutely
that delicious precious,
anonymous nonpretentious,

the lost healthy food i need,
those sweetest words, so tender and touching
not my feat,
but i heard easy and rewarding,
so i kept reading,
your greatest comforting,
i read and read and i heard,
that comforting word,
thank you so much from my inside, darling....

with love
from Holland,
Sylvia

Poet's Notes:
Cianjur white rice is the best rice in the world
and grows in West-Java, Indonesia
Cianjur is a small town
where the best quality of rice is cultivated,
boiled brown potatoes
are potatoes boiled with peel, the most healthy
