At times you want <br />To escape <br />Yourself, <br /> <br />You think <br />May be <br />Switching on the <br />TV set will work. <br /> <br />But it doesn’t, <br />So I head <br />For the kitchen <br />And bake a fresh loaf of bread, <br />A new recipe from my kitchen shelf. <br /> <br />It takes me <br />Out of myself. <br />Cooking I find always helps <br />It uplifts my mood, <br />And ah, the aroma of fresh food. <br /> <br />It whets my appetite, <br />And I get some respite <br />From the chaos <br />In my mind.<br /><br />Mamta Agarwal<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/escape-36/
