Poetry Memoir–Part 10

Hello, everyone. I know I’m two days late, but packing up a household will make for that situation. I’m taking a few minutes to come with a small offering from the Conservatory. Poetic Bloomings asked us this week to tell of our ancestry, our roots. In this–Part 10–of the Memoir Project, PB is taking us back to where our personal family stories began.

I hope you enjoy it and will consider doing one of your own. Have a great rest of the week.

Recipe for Self

Grind emerald into moss

Taken from the little people,

Add leaves from tartan greens,

Mix with “Saxon via Hastings”

For the perfect blend of flavors;

On the side take Native civilization

With a thing for alphabets and toss;

Add dressing with sea’s tang

For the journey to the table,

And enjoy the resulting dish.
