collaboration

work with sun, moon 
earth, the good long days
peel, pull  seeds
hum quietly
a nameless melody
drawn through half forgotten
memories 
as is this recipe.

cinnamon red, sharp
nutmeg brown, sultry
sugar white 
as snows to come
eggs golden globes
milk splashing 
creamy sounds.
day light slants 
across the table
it warms my hands 
as they shape dough
for pumpkin pie.

Darren White September 30, 2017 at 3:42 AM I love the poem, Patricia. I also love pumpkin pie, especially with salted caramel on top lol. I understand your title of the poem. At first I thought you had written a poem together with someone else :) Patricia Cresswell September 30, 2017 at 11:00 AM PS. can you get the recipe for the salted caramel? Patricia Cresswell September 30, 2017 at 10:58 AM I made a pie with nature she did most of the work. Thank you for understanding.

John Fleming September 29, 2017 at 8:09 PM I really do fancy a nice big slice of that pie right now...it would certainly add something extra-nice to my break time; in complete contradiction to the rather mundane looking meal sat before me at this very moment. Just the thought of it - Yum! :) john John Fleming September 29, 2017 at 10:16 PM Hhmm...After my normal 12 hours in the sack recovery-time Saturday night I may well try something rather more adventurous come Sunday afternoon -- I shall tackle the intricacies of a cooked chicken! Trying to put to the back of my mind, of course, what happened last time I was tempted to be so adventurous...which we...errr...best not go into of course - ahem... :) Patricia Cresswell September 29, 2017 at 9:39 PM Do you bake? You, if able, should make your meals more exciting. It doesn't take much more time than making a sandwich and you would be amazed how it lifts you spirits. lol but I digress thank you. I think baking is very sensual. Meaning it an involve all of your senses. Have a good shift.
