On those rare delights...
So many good poems this week on the topic of rare pleasures-- those treats we allow ourselves only once in a while! My mom had a great one (and I am not the son referred to):
Son made sourdough bread.
Siren song of delicious
crustiness calls me.

And Sleepy Walleye came to visit:
Bacon, egg and cheese
On a buttery croissant
Cholesterol treat.

Craig A has a Boston-style vision:
A cup of Dunkin’
Coffee with a warm Blueberry
Muffin - gotta love!

And Desiree is thinking road trip:
Marshmallow outside,
pink, chocolate joy. Snowballs!
For road trips only.

Christine got the memo:
Wow, only a third
That box is calling my name
Nom, nom... Krispy Kreme.
That box is calling my name
Nom, nom... Krispy Kreme.
And Anonymous chimed in:
From Antarctic Ice
Her sweet song summons,”Devour!”
Chocolate coma.

Chocolate coma.
And then Christine again (and just as good):
A rare indulgence
coffeecake catches my eye
Ate the entire cake
Raspberry filling
and gooey icing drizzled
Atop, heavenly.
