Hand picked, lovingly preserved
Empty shelf, full me

Fun, especially that last line.
Thanks, I wrote it to show my students that poetry can be fun and light.
Delightful!
Thank you
I could taste it! Made me smile.
Thanks, it makes me smile too.
Applesauce lives deep in the soul of our childhood selves, and your poem taps into that. It raises it up a notch revealing part of an almost holy ritual of making it, and making it become even more special —and all the more desired!
Now I have to get some too…Thanks Deanna!
Thanks!
