Hello, Fellow Poetry Lovers,
For some time, I have been asked to share, at poetry readings, church groups, etc., some of my original poems. I decided to create this blog because I am generally proud of the efforts I put into my work, and I hope you will enjoy reading them as well. My first poem I am going to share is the one for which I named my blog:
Her biscuits were always better
because they came from someone
other than my mother or grandmother.
Azwo's
( I couldn't seem to say, Elsie's}
biscuits were the best.
Mother would tell me that
asking for one was not polite,
But everytime I'd visit,
my cravings would over-ride
her words of instruction.
Azwo would smile and
spread a little butter and jelly
on a big fluffy biscuit.
Mother would start to scold,
but the old lady would say,
"Boys will be boys,
and this boy is hungry."
Today, as my world
becomes too much to bear,
I let my mind drift back
to a little boy sitting contentedly
at the table eating
one of Azwo's
Big, fluffy biscuits.
Good job, dad! Keep it up!
