I remember the leaves falling
They were so beautiful
Walking through the woods with your hand in mine
I could feel the cold breeze coming in
I pulled my jacket around me
As you pulled me to you
We were so in love
There wasn't a moment I didn't think of you
We were so naïve, so young
How was I to know what was to become of us?
Now, you returned
After all these years, I thought you left
I was hoping you had
My life is better now, I’m not alone
I refuse to fall under your spell
For I am already under someone else’s

Snacktime Sonata Challenge Winners
Well, your Snacktime Sonatas made us hungry, and that’s about the highest compliment we have. Food — taste, smell, sensation — is a powerful conduit to the past, to memories pleasurable and painful and sometimes bittersweet, a mixture of comfort and challenge. Congratulations to Penny Fuller for Sativa — it’s a first win for Penny — a hymn to the “secret, unbounded/freedoms” of fresh peas in the pod. The narrative voice of the poem doesn’t really want to be outside, but finds joy in the green things of the earth; this is a lovely work of resilience.
