I have often wondered about the kitchen chaos and why every pan bowl needs to be dirty. When I cook, I clean each as I go so that there is no mess at the end, but then to each their own.

That makes me want to be invited over! No one really bakes anymore and store bought goodies are too sweet, ‘too preserved,’ and too expensive…. Enjoy the relish goodies and the family camaraderie!

It certainly was a hard life back then Cassie. When I was in senior school I used to work on Saturdays and my holidays in Victor Values, a supermarket back in the day, it was hard work but the staff and camaraderie was wonderful.

I found the poem to be visceral...crossed the bounds of cerebral and hit something beyond it. The line \"the photographer
harvests hardship in monochrome \" ... magical

It bought back learned images of boys up chimneys and the matchstick girls... glad we are more socially conscious today....now we just deny them proper shelter....
Good call, Cassie

I could only imagine though on one tropical holiday I was like Rambo by the Oceanside, sitting in the rocky beach hunting knife in hand shucking oysters and straight into the gullet, lunch al fresco. Got a few cuts as well, they are quite sharp, the shells and the rocks. So I can imagine a life of nothing but shucking could be quite shocking. I can feel the sharp stinging rawness of the cuts now… courtesy of part-hypochondriac and interactive memory. Solid poem here Cassie, a journey no less! 👍🏻👍🏻

My mother was one of five children. The family were fishermen and oyster farmers. Everyone works from the age of six. Not sure what a six year old does but they were trained well.
My mother bought seven properties with an oyster knife.
Tough life? Possibly but that\'s what they knew.

There is no developed country where children are allowed to work, but this is a valuable picture that tells us that it was the same everywhere more than 100 years ago.
Even today, some developing countries still rely on child labor.
I think it is a very good poem. The choice of words also conveys to the reader in a straightforward manner.

You know when I was 15 I worked in a fishmongers in Granville arcade in Brixton London, my hands were so ugly full of cuts from fish spines and black with the wrapping of the paper we used I used to clean fillet and wrap, even though my hands were terribly ugly I absolutely loved my job. I feel for those young souls who had such a job so young. 🌹

It is apt that a poem via your sepia photograph should draw one back to a time when Consumption was rife.
How many poets were prematurely lost far too early to the world as a result of this disease?
A write which clearly evokes the time and place, Cassie.

Sad, premature death., The years do not dim the sorrow. You can hear it in this poem it bleeds through. Nicely worded.

This is so touching. I see a sepia photograph clutched closely in an embrace and a grandchild running through the hallway for a visit also into that embrace! Just beautiful!

A fine write of a terrible disease of olden days - mainly?
Meanwhile - I been looking up KP\'s Album. Her ancestors are in \'The Encyclopedia of Trouts - Old Ones!\' heehee.
Does she know the book \'1,001 Joys of Botox\'? Know it? She wrote it!

Crikey .. I had an aunt Winnie my paternal grandfathers sister who succumbed more recently than your great aunt but to the very same thing .. Much later,
I worked in what was the old sanitorium where she once used to convalesce .. .. a sad poem Cassie and one which records part of almost every existing households familial history .. I am glad you penned this my friend, your great aunt deserves to be remembered in a poem of such quality ..

Wow! I am honored to be the first to like, favorite and comment. This is beautiful, Cassie. So sorry to hear of your Aunty Winnie. Such a young age and that disease is a killer! My great-grandparents died young from the Flu, back during the 1918-1919 epidemic that killed so many people. It\'s amazing how delicately fragile life is and yet how, even having died at a young age, this woman left behind such a legacy, one that your poem breathes new life into. Glad to hear her features came through in your graddaughter. What a blessing! 🌹👏🙏❤️

With most poems here on MPS i don\'t get past the first stanza - it takes a special write to hold my attention but this one surely did - super piece Cassie.
