"home from school"


    

 

The faintest scent

of snickerdoodles,

  

(just their name

brings a quick grin)

 

these hot cinnamon tinged

circular confections

just baked by mom

today sings,

 

NO -- SHOUTS,


my hungry

name as I

burst through

 

 

the back screen

door into

 

the kitchen's 

seductive 

magic,

 

plop down

the fat pile

of books

 

and a tin

Roy Rogers

lunchbox

 

as a small boy's 

strong thirst for love

 

is by several

sweet treats

 

and a cold

glass of milk

 

at least

partly

sated.
