What poem will you carry?
I am taking along a bit of kindness from Danusha Laméris Small Kindnesses.
Taste a Bite of Poetryafter Mark Strand I have been dining on poetrythat tastes like cookies. Someone pressed in a dashof salty tears, balancing the sweet. Someone topped them with chocolate.The brown ink stains my fingers, So I carry this verse with me,eating bit by bit,filling my wistful soul. @Margaret Simon, draft Photo by Suzy Hazelwood on Pexels.com
