Welcome to National Poetry Month (#npr2020). This month, I will be sharing original poems about food and family. In these times of sheltering, food is comfort. A list of links to previous poems is HERE.

First up is a poem about Graham Cracker Pie. When my husband and I were dating, we discovered that a pie recipe had been in both families for ages.

Maybe the Universe
Maybe the universe had a sign
one decided by two different coasts
by two different recipes
one with cinnamon, one without

Maybe the universe had a sign
for Graham Cracker Pie
A custard from ancient Rome, so luscious
A meringue, a light halo

Maybe the universe had a sign
to sandwich the filling between
crushed Graham crackers, sugar
and liquid butter nectar for the crust

Maybe the universe had a sign
that two grandmothers would bake
pies, a Saturday night treat, so that
we would see we were meant to be

​STUDENT POETRY POSTCARDS

There is still time for Student Poetry Postcards. In this time of social distancing, they might bring cheer.
