An Evening I Recall Poem by Melanie Emikohe

An Evening I Recall

Rating: 5.0


I don't forget
the bland porridge we had,
that cold, stormy evening.

No meat added to taste
not enough salt,
And each bowl of share
was a malnourished serve.

I don't forget
that electrifying evening;
we laughed hard
and mocked our state.

This was wonderfully done and universal.
