The heady scent of cinnamon <br />Upon the opening of the door <br />The tugging out of memories <br />From the mind’s musty store <br /> <br />The warm, soft smell of pie crust <br />Upon the opening of the oven <br />The revisiting of the memories <br />The huggin’ and the lovin’ <br /> <br />The aromatic aura of apples <br />Baked with a crispy honeyed glaze <br />The remembering of the memories <br />Kitchen memories, happy days <br /> <br />The Smell of hot peach cobbler, <br />The tantalizing odor of allspice <br />The callin’ back of the memories <br />Kitchen memories, warm and nice <br /> <br />Red and white checkered aprons, <br />Flour dappled, love lined faces <br />The tearful tug of way old memories <br />Memorable kitchens, happy places <br /> <br />The heady scent of cinnamon <br />Upon the opening of the door <br /> Is one of the bestest of my memories <br />And likely will be… forever more <br /> <br />Ahhh…The heady scent of cinnamon!<br /><br />David Whalen<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/ode-to-the-scent-of-cinnamon/
