Gravy Baby
One of my favorite memories related to Sundays are Yorkshire puddings!
I remember the house smelling like roast beef, so inviting, enticing.
Being first generation born Canadian with a British family, meat and potatoes were a big part of my diet growing up and you can’t have meat and potatoes with out gravy! That would be crazy!
My Grandmother and Mother are by far the Queens of making the most fantastic tasting Yorkshire puddings and the gravy…..the best part.
Enjoy the meat and potatoes of life (especially the gravy baby!)
Happy Sunny Sunday
Gravy Baby
It’s like gravy baby,
You and me
Our reverie
Just you
And me
A cup of Chemistry
A dash of Science
A teaspoon of Spirit
A tablespoon of Soul
Nourishment
Flavor
Gravy Baby
You and me
Ingredients
Combined so perfectly
Sweetly
Completely
It’s Gravy baby
In a boat
Our love a float
Flows hot
makes everything tastier
It’s like gravy baby
You and me
Combined so perfectly

Perfection…..You brought back some childhood memories for me…..And, I loved the way you switched it up to your relationship. Nice work.
Thank you. I’m glad you enjoyed it.
Nothing like the meat and potatoes in life.

Love it! Love the way you blend the words together like a perfect gravy recipe.
Hi Kara,
Thanks for taking the time to comment, I appreciate your kind words.
Have a great Sunday,
Jennifer
Now you went and made me hungry! — YUR
😀 Me too!
Shame we don’t stick with traditions as much as we used to – my Mum was brilliant at Sunday Roast and Yorkshire’s, I fail miserably it has to be said! Another great poem. 🙂
Thanks Jade. Yes my Grandmum and Mum seem to go to so much care and work to get them just so…. Heating the muffin tins with drippings etc.
Mmmm I want one now! But no time today.
Thanks about the poem. That one was fun to write. Almost like a song.
I enjoyed it – fortunately in the UK it’s nearly bedtime so the craving for meat and veg has passed!
A lovely contribution to your blog, Jennifer. I like the aesthetic elegance of the words on the page, as well as the flow of the words. Your musings and poem remind me of when I was a young homemaker, learning how to make gravy by following the recipe in my Betty Crocker cookbook. So much to learn about back then, and so much yet to learn today.
Life is journey of learning! Thank you for your too generous words.
Continued success,
Jennifer
Hi Jennifer, Thank you for Stopping by “I am writing” and liking the first post on that sight. Actually that is a post from my other site; Paper, Mud and Me which is about both my pottery and my writing, but so much has been going on in my writing world that I felt I had to get a blog just for my writing. Thanks again for stopping by. You are my first visitor. – Aloha –
Hi Paul,
I’m glad! I remember just a short few weeks ago my first post, first like and comment. Writing is such a journey of self discovery and freedom. I hope your new blog becomes all that you are hoping.
I will be reading.
Thanks for replying and checking out my blog.
Jennifer
You realize your poetry is maturing before your/our eyes. One of the best complements is when people talk about the content of the poem, like they have. Nothing says “it spoke to me” lake when someone answers. 😉
Jim,
Thank you. Such a valuable comment.
Jennifer

Hi!
I never had the pleasure to taste it…
Still I like the way you combine food and love 🙂 Have a nice day!
Sacha
Oh you really must taste them. I added a link. Give it a go.
Food is love in my eyes! Yum.
Jennifer
Thanks for coming by my blog. Very nice poem. I particularly how the rhyming is not forced at all, just flows (yup, like gravy) 😉
Gravy baby.
Thank you.
Jennifer
Jennifer, I am so impressed with how you have embraced being vulnerable on the internet. It takes a lot of courage to put yourself out there, especially by using poetry, which is so much more personal than prose. I admire you!
Ok, now I have to follow your blog!! That did it. 🙂
Evening,
Such kind words.
You made me smile.
Thank you for that.
Jennifer
