REMEMBERING DEE

 Cinnamon and cloves i think of her

Chives and thyme also call her to mind

At Saturday market she was a seller

Cinnamon and cloves i think of her

Her ground cocoa beans never a failure

In a small hand mill she would grind

Cinnamon and cloves i think of her

Chives and thyme also call her to mind

    This is lovely - the form is very skilfully done. I've seen a lot of food-linked memories for this prompt - this one is beautifully done.

    So many things are about scents when you remember someone.
