Mind Tasting Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Mind Tasting



Looking to the east, just remembering my past in New Jersey,
yet seeing cacti and palm trees sitting outside my window.

Always love New Jersey and it's beauty, forests, leaves and
beautiful gardens of flowers.

A part of past memories, writing, mind tasting their savory
textures and aromas.

New Jersey - Arizona: yes, they do seem like opposites, but your mind savors them as complementary, just as age and youth, past and present, thoughts and sensations are complementary. I think your opening stanza does this wonderfully: in your thoughts are the deciduous forests of NJ, but in the immediacy of your senses are the saguaros! That is one of the amazing qualities of our minds, that we can hold opposites in perfect poise.
