1481

I SAY/SHE SAY

I say "buy a house"
she opts for an apartment
my adult daughter

"crochet tablecloth"?
"no crochet table-center"
so i make her one

so at Christmas-time
we sit in holiday cheer
at her small table

her home-cooked meal fed
we read poems from my book
her boyfriend listens
--gillena cox

Revisit
a walk
stitchfest
green fig

i am blog hopping today at Poetry Jam the prompt is "Home Grown, Home Baked, Home Spun, Home Brewed, Home Cooked"
