Quilted Today

Rating: 3.0


“In the past those whom you love
................don’t ever die.”
....From “Vertumnus”, a poem
...........by Joseph Brodsky

...............dough bowl
.holding fresh-picked flowers
.....captured surplus of blue

..........Grandma’s hands
...kneading apple-pie dough
......lingering cinnamon air

....reflections of the season
........seasoned memories
........weathered and worn

...........setting the mood
..............quilted today

Ben, A beautiful poem where the warmth spills and the aroma lingers in the memory of a man, made happy as a boy through the treasure of grandma's kitchen. Dorothy
