With this wonderful snowstorm, and all the crazies out yesterday, I just had to reshare this poem from 2014 🙂

OJ French Toast
I still don’t have the answer
To a question asked
So long ago
Why do you buy milk, eggs and bread
When someone mentions snow

Does this sinfully sweet
Breakfast fare
Make us become a little manic
If we don’t get the ingredients
Do we all begin to panic

Do the slices of bread
With their cinnamon swirl
Remind you of riding a sled

Or the soft golden butter
Melting over the top
Remind you of warm days ahead

Do the fluffy white flakes
Falling down from the sky
Remind you of powdered confection

Or the syrup that’s oozing
Dripping over the sides
Remind you of sweet perfection

I want to know the simple truth
About this French Toast story
I’m pretty sure it’s not just snow
That gives it all its glory

 

 

Here’s the original story that asked the burning question: What Is It About Snow & French Toast?

A Mother’s Doubt

For C & J – two beautiful people
She tries so hard, just to be

The one she wants him to see

Through all the ups and downs

And the turmoil that swirls around

He smiles and laughs his boyish grin

Knowing well, from deep within

Her love for him shall never waver

This is ultimately what will save her

From wondering if she’s got it right

When at times, she’s up all night

Just watching as he breathes, she sighs

Questioning the reasons why

She doubts herself when she can see

The fine young man he’s grown to be

Arriving ever so quietly

Delicate golden wings flutter

Whispering to her heart

A gentle reminder of the

Splendid beauty upon the Earth

Friday Fantasy ~ Conceal

#poetry, betrayal. death, cold hearted, Conceal, dorindaduclos.com, fantasy, Friday Fantasy, lies, mystery, Night Owl Poetry, poems, truth

Mysterious eyes of icy blue

Hide the lies that once were true

Shrouded behind her feathered masque

Afraid that she’ll be brought to task

For what she did so long ago

No, what she did, they cannot know

Nor who she was before that day

When the fire left her, went away

And turned her heart as cold as rime

Sealing memories, lost in time

Frozen, she can no longer feel

A hardened heart, she must conceal

#TBT – Sunlight Fades

#poetry, #TBT, dorindaduclos.com, life, Night Owl Poetry, poems, sundet, sunlight, Sunlight Fades, thoughts, Throwback Thursday

Standing by an open window
Soaking in the warmth and air
Breezing through my thoughts
And wondering just where

The hours have gone, passing by
Vanishing much too swiftly
No chance to get them back, you see
They left me here, too quickly

So I lean back and soak it in
As daylight turns to shade
Press my face against the glass
And watch the sunlight fade…
