Three Poems

by Danny Barbare

Peanut Butter Wafers

Home

is

an

open

bag

love

is

sweet

and

crisp

always

a

reminder

like

a

crumb

on

the

lip.

Slices of Apples

Slices of apples, close as a plastic bag

till soon autumn is on the

ridge

a peck, a bushel

an orchard

busy as a bumble

bee

till the jug of cider

is empty

the dust of

the gravel road has settled

and the mountains are in the refrigerator.

A Cookie

Like

an

open

wrapper

home

is

a

cookie

crisp

and

sweet.
