Dumplings

Prompt Dumpling

This word reminds me of tummies rumbling,
Childhood memories of cold winter days,
The smell of beef stew and dumplings
And home. That’s what it conveys.

Dumplings, even the word sounds round and loving.
Comfort, warmth and needed.
Hugs so tight they’re almost smothering.
Times when you feel your world’s completed.
