Against the Tide ~ #freeverse #poetry

It’s rather abysmal, time sifting through

Like sands, fighting against the tide

We tread in shallow waters, afraid of the riptides

Still, we are pulled out, farther into the waves

Til we disappear, growing ever fainter

Like the setting sun, fading into the horizon

Sprinkled with Love ~ #SeptemberWriting #poetry

As daylight grows shorter
And night becomes cold
Flowers will wither away
Growing old

Rain will suddenly turn into snow
Hardening ground
Til there’s no room to grow

Perhaps a few sprinkles
From the watering can
Will perk up the flora
With love, from our hands

Applesauce Pie ~ #SeptemberWriting #poetry

When I troll through the kitchen

Looking for something sweet

Opening cabinet doors

In search of a treat

I find myself in a tizzy

I need a quick fix

Then what do I spy?

Oh, it’s pancake mix!

 

Now most of you are saying

This surely cannot replete

But mix it with applesauce

Then dessert is complete!

Add a bit of powdered sugar

And some whipped cream, for sure

Voile! Homemade applesauce pie

Holds the sweetest allure
