Grandma's Kitchen
Freshly starched curtains,
Billowing in the breeze,
Blowing in, blowing out.
Little pots of herbs,
Sitting on the sill,
Soaking up the sunshine,
Their scents permeate the air.
Cupboards white and clean,
With appliqued flowers
Add a little warmth
A rolling pin, bread board,
Hair pulled back,
Flour smudging her face,
Hands busy kneading,
An apron around her waist.
Sweet rolls in the oven,
Butter frosting awaits.
Percolating coffee,
Cream to go with it,
Sugar standing by.
Stainless steel kettle with
Soup on the stove,
Steaming, simmering,
Taunting, teasing,
Appetite, anyone?
