what is it about
making soup that brings comfort?
heartiness, warmth, taste?
when days feel untied
I take out the steel kettle
fire the front burner
pour in chicken stock
add vegetables and spices
let it simmer……..breathe
Making Soup
Telling Secrets – The Stafford Challenge Day 51, Slice of Life Challenge Day 7
Today’s poem is a random line poem, constructed from a line heard or read randomly. My husband is an NCIS fan, and he’s in season 20. I’m usually reading or writing when he’s watching his show. I heard Kasey say she was going to drink a ginger ale (a drink I don’t think she likes). I jotted it down and wrote this random line poem.
Secrets
I'm telling secrets~
I'll give it all (everything)
especially that tacky lamp
~drink a ginger ale
feel the stomach knots untie~
to release the past
these misplaced values
that stood in the way
of your being
there
