In response to "Christmas Morning"

children
entering the same
cycle of enthusiasm while
parents yawn—I can almost
see them, as I scroll
their pictures on my phone—
Germany. Alabama. California.
the dancers are different,
the dance is the same.

That's my favorite stanza. Nicely done.

In response to "eighteen years in Memphis"

I keep expecting
the place to ensnare me
with roots

it feels strange to admit
that my time is over
and I’m done studying.
I should be doing.

Favourite parts. Nice job with the prompt.

Without realizing it, I put my hand over my heart while reading your poem. Very well done. My heart goes out to you.

In response to "Cornish pasties"

Haha, I’ll make you some Rhyssa. Pasties were my Dad’s favorite and I learned to make them very early. I too love them but they are a lot of work to make. My husband never appreciated them which I could never understand. But consequently I don’t make them often. Only if my brother is coming for dinner. Both of my grandmothers made them, and my Mom and me. I’d say i have an old family recipe but I’ve never had a written recipe, I just make them and they are so good. Just like your poem.

I’ll have to invite my brother for dinner and make pasties soon. You have my mouth watering.
