Somewhere, buried upon your dish
Is something a bit crispy, but so delish

Yet, in the center, it’s soft, warm and chewy
And what comes next, makes them quite gooey

No need for the butter, bananas will do
Add one scoop of vanilla, or maybe two

Drizzle with chocolate, drizzle some more
Imagine, now, what your mouth has in store

Delectable sweetness, together, blended
Bite after bite, they all taste so splendid

Don’t hurry through, delight in each bite
Perhaps, we should’ve made more, in hindsight

No matter, there’s always tomorrow to savor
Waffles and ice cream, and their wonderful flavor

This one can go either direction…   😉


Polly Pink, such a dancer supreme

She was the star of every man’s dream

Especially the night

When her tassels took flight

And landed in Bailey’s Irish Cream

What’s that you say, my friend?

You’ll have to come closer, I fear

Something is wrong with my hearing

I seemed to have misplaced my ear

Always happens around this time

Humans have a hankering for me

They buy me, to put into a basket

Wrap me in foil, swell, now I can’t see

Oh, but I know, what’s coming my way

First it’s one ear and then the other

Maybe they’ll forget about me, for today

Oops, there goes the rest of my brother!

Gone in a Flash – #poetry #SeptemberWriting

It feels like it’ll take forever

Between the dunk and very first bite

Of that luscious chocolate wafer

And it’s sugary middle, so white

You have to get it so perfect

It has be done with precision, just right

Else you’ll wind up with cookie mush

Then oh, what a terrible plight!

Remember, to take it slowly

You must learn, with all your might

To wait til the very last moment

Then it’s gone, in your mouth, out of sight

Mr. Bunny hops, here and there

Hurry scurry, with nary a care

He has to gather colored eggs

For little Johnny, Mike and Peg

Baskets filled with grasses, green

And every color in between

Chocolates that seem never melt

Marshmallow peeps, expand your belt

Jelly beans, to send the sugar rush higher

He’s racing around, to fill your desires

When everything’s ready, he’ll be headed your way

Please leave a carrot for him, this Easter Sunday
