Cold hands comfort Clenched between fingers firm Steam wafting to entice senses As I drink Campbell’s soup in a cup Chicken Noodle or Tomato Cream of Mushroom or Potato It’s a memory book to my mouth Offer of silent support when sick or well Pot simmering on the gas burner Stirring gently with a wooden spoon Waiting with longing For cold hands comfort ...

your poem gently and effectively takes the reader right to the experience (and to fond memories of such things)...just as a scent can so quickly and strongly trigger the past to loom large! applause!! |

Dear Alison, this brings a longing for a cup, not cold here as there; your words give the thoughts of winter and the feel of warmth. Thank you for sharing. Rick |

just getting over and FULL case of the flue - 104 degrees for two days, additional fever for the next 4...and all the rest of symptoms...sick as a dog....so this piece rings well. once i could eat again soup was it...green pea in particualr...and by Campbells, of course. Loved the way this was put together... Jimmy |

Nothing like wrapping cold hands around a hot cup of steaming Campbell's soup! Aw! the memories! ~ Now I make my own soup from scratch! ~ Well, most of the time...  I am notorious for crushing up lots of crackers in my Campbell soup! ~ especially into mushroom or tomato. Yum, Yum! I raise a nice hot cup of Campbell's to you on this freezing cold day! Brrrrr  Linda |
