Hi Gypsy Queen,
the first line dragged me into memories, into feelings and emotions without going any further.
My grandmother who I lived with as a tacker made everything... homemade was it. We lived on a dairy farm and whilst her ice cream is till my fondest tasting memory, the strawberry jam and
high top crusty bread came a close second. Yes full of love and extra cuddles.
I wish you all the very best in this 5-7-5 poetry contest Reina Gitana.
Enviandote besos y abrazos de chocolate virtuales donde nadie sale lastimado(*U*)
With our thoughts we create...
comfort in love.
Kind regards,
James.

I am sorry for the loss of your grandmother, she sounds like a loving soul. I can imagine how delicious were her homemade treats.
As always, I look forward to your reviews with anticipation, you are the best. When I don't hear from you, I wonder how you and your wife are doing in your piece of heaven.
Thank you very much for the exceptional six stars review, you are very kind.
Besitos y abrazos, guapo (*!*) <3

Thank you for sharing this contest entry with us. My mom is 90 years old and still, just a few days ago, had my grandchildren pick her grapes, so she could make grape jam. It's the best. I would help but live 1600 miles away. I enjoyed reading and wish you luck with the contest.

Hi Gypsy, I miss the days of having breakfast on the porch. I always loved that outdoor/early/misty morning feeling. Of special note:
a jar full of love
(a jar full of love, indeed)
Great photo choice. A pleasure to read. Keep the blue waters flowing.

Mmm! I used to make jam every year but now we're trying our hardest to reduce our sugar intake...So I stopped. I liked the setting of starting the day with the reminder of love in the jar of jam.

I should stop eating sugar too. It's very hard because there are always delicious sweets in my daughter's house. (*~*) Good for you.
Thank you so much for taking the time to read and review my poem.

Your few syllables summed up Grandma's love well,
Gypsy. The presentation was great--the color scheme,
the images, and your well thought out words. Great
job with the haiku style.
Thanks for sharing, Jan

Comment from royowen
As a kid I always loved jam, when I was young, sweets or lollies as we Aussies call were heavily rationed, so jam was the go to sweet, beautifully written my friend, blessings Roy
Query: Wouldn't one have breakfast "on" a verandah Gypsy?

I like your Haiku- excellent picture presentation- makes me hungry!! Good word count and connection between lines- good contest poem - suggest- technically can't be in the porch - on the porch - better option- good luck!!
