One thought on “”
I love the imagery here. Such a beautiful haiku with a very gentle “aha!”
I especially like the contrast between the warmth of the cayenne and cocoa (different kinds, no less) and taking time to stop and think about the earth (warmth, holding) from which they came. Growing things, things that nourish and enrich us, that are only possible because we live on this precious planet.
Really great contrasts and sensory connections here!
