The short poem “My Mother's Kitchen” by Hannah B. is beautiful and saturated in imagery. She describes her mother's and grandmother's kitchens with vivid and colorful words, and recalls moments that she shared in the two rooms with them. She uses words such as “slightly outdated,” “comfortable and airy,” and “mosaic” to describe her grandmother's kitchen. I think this poet put great effort into creating a clear picture in readers' minds.

Hannah did such a good job that any reader, like me, can relate without ever being in the room. The lines “we know these recipes by heart/end result is not perfect” create a contrast that most people understand between home and Grandma's. Grandma's house is a comfortable, relaxed environment where imperfections are prized, while in their own house every detail must be exact. This poem is so relatable that I couldn't help but enjoy it.
