fond childhood memories
of gathering pecans
from beneath the pecan tree
linger on
the sweet smell
of mother's sticky buns
baking in the oven

There must be a poem in here somewhere.

Haha! It was hickory nuts in our front yard. the hardest nut in the world to eat, jeez, but the meat was great tasting. Nice poem.
