you are calling from the kitchen
would I like
strawberry jam on my toast
strawberry jam?
I think
I forgot we had some
in the refrigerator
between the peanut-butter
the almost empty jar
of gloopy marmalade
I shout back yes
I will have jam on my toast
why not
I feel healthy
I am growing a smile
there’s you and there’s life
and it’s only Monday
you know

Explanation: A poem written quickly in my own time. A (deliberately) very simple piece, supposed to highlight how small things can cheer you up a little bit. A link to my Facebook writing page can be found on my home page here on HP.
NOTE: Many of my older pieces will be removed from HP in the coming months.
