Waffle

A poem about my grandmother who’s “sweet and cute as a waffle”

She's tiny as a gnome,

and her ears point out

like wands attached to her head.

She bobbles around

the little golden bunglow,

and cooks like a

chef in her miniature dollhouse.

Her hair is light like the sun ,

and is short as a spiky pixie.

Her body is covered in a

ballet slipper pink polo shirt,

beige chino shorts ,

and coconut white laced sneakers.

The floral aroma of

ylang ylang air tickles

my nostrils, as it travels to and from

her ivory painted living room.

Once I pass by her,

I collapse onto the leather mahogany couch,

drunk and stoned on sugar.

Her sweetness is contagious ,

and roams around like fairy dust.

It's like living in a fairy tale world,

with the legendary Grandma Waffle.
