When I was a young boy, my Grandmother (Nan), would take me shopping with her and we would always stop and she would buy me a cream cake.  Long before she passed she promised me she would come back and see me after had passed away, if there was anyway she could find to do so.  Years later she did exactly that, when on a train from France, the meal service included a little cream cake.  One bite and the taste sent my memories spinning - It was like she was right there with me....I like to believe she was...

Little cream cake on the train from France Lit a fire in my mind and my heart began to dance Memories buzzing through my brain Thanks for the visit, I'm glad you came Filled with fondest memories Of days spent with you, heart full, carefree Loved and adored, my moment in the sun No doubt in your eyes that I was number one Long ago you and I made a pact you see You said, if you could, you'd come back to me It's been a long time, didn't know how long you'd take And just right then, you jumped out of my cream cake I know love has no end cos yours is still with me Whispering I'm here and will always be For you I live my life like my life is at stake Thanks Nan for your visit and for my cream cake

Great poem, very moving... Reading it I felt like if it was me talking to my grandma. I can see that you easily express your thoughts and feelings, I mean, not everyone is able to put that in words, you can and you do it in a very beautiful way.

Your works flow very evenly. It rolls off the tongue nicely and in an evident rhythm that is emphasized by the two line rhyme couplets. Love your style man, would love to hear what you think of some if my work...good stuff regardless. Best wishes MattyG
