[Stylist] pickle poem

[Barbara HAMMEL]

This poem instantly made me think of that crock of cucumbers pickling. My mother used to make her own sweet pickles. The other thing about this that satisfies my heart is your beginning and ending words because green is my favorite color, therefore it is perfection.

Dill and Brine
By Ann Chiappetta

green
and curved, bumps
diminutive gherkin cornichons
curved Kirby’s
Aromas bewitch salivatory glands
Jarred in glass, sprigs
Of herbs and salt vinegar. Infused
Brined Tantalizing tartness
Wicked on the tongue
Olfactory humming with anticipation, the crunch
The layered satisfaction
Of
Perfection.
