Ginger, peaceful, hurt
Use these three words in your story or poem but keep it clean.
Ginger
When the hurt of the world gets too close,
come to my kitchen. It won't be peaceful,
there’s no time for worry. I’ll braid your hair
with purple ribbons. And we’ll dance
on the chairs
We’ll drink ginger tea-
with lots of ginger. So much
ginger. Until
the songs we sing along to. The songs on the radio
are woven with ginger. The ginger will
be
fogging the windows and
curling through the air. Golden and
we’ll have ginger in our blood.
We’ll run in the rain. Sit on the porch
and eat a bowl of rice.
And the air will be full of ginger
