Chestnuts!


 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
A chestnut’s

the best nut

to eat

when it snows

 

hot

from the pot

give ‘em

quick

cooling blows

 

split them

and slip them

sweet

from the shell  

 

winter

 

warmth

 

and

oh

 

that smell

  2. Nice imagery, and I think the form works very well, as it almost looks like a puff of smoke that slows down as you get to the last stanza.

  3. This is just delightful! I am reminded of peeling chestnuts with my grandma, mother, and sister for Thanksgiving stuffing each year. Thank you for this moment and these words! a.
