She picks each flower, one by one
Looking for the perfect petals to share
Gathers them under the blazing sun
To bring home, to mama, waiting there

The yellow centers, toward the light
Her fingers clasped tightly around
Bright green stalks, hold on, with might
Firmly anchored into the ground

Still, she chooses, by just a hunch
Why that particular one entrances
Together, she holds them, in a bunch
Places them in a vase, and mama dances

She loves to see her mama smile
It’s not often it happens, but then
These beauties, which always beguile
Are bringing happiness home, again

You might be keen on arguing another’s ideology

But is it sensible, if in fact, it’s quite unknown?

No need to bedevil someone else’s methodology

Only makes your reasons, look mighty overblown

The lovely Helene of Willow Poetry has challenged us with “What do you See?”.  You may write a poem, haiku, tanka or short story that represents what you see or feel within you.  More info can be found in the link below.


Warm arms embracing

Holding her creations near

She breathes life in each

While smiling over her brood

As they blossom within her

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

It is usually best to be more perspicacious

Then it is to pontificate and be loquacious

Speak from the heart, what matters most

And others will stay completely engrossed
