‘Nana Puddin’ Love

Posted on by Joyce M. Rose-Harris

Dipped down deep into

something so sweet called

banana pudding. Crisp vanilla

cookie freshly madeby poetic hands.

.

Custard blended into smooth

goodness, glides lusciously

on the tongue. Bananas selected

just right, not to ripe.

.

Crack a cookie, spooned up

with custard and banana slices

in the mix…eats like happiness.

Leaving me with a ‘nana puddin’ smile.
