Doris Culverhouse Poet Free verse

Constantly Torment

Tears well in my eyes; don't let anyone see
Patch the broken parts over and over
Let no one know I am late for the show
Again, unconcern seems my plot
Friends don't desire your lights
Lard biscuits don't make you slender
Taste and know; It ain't for show

Tastes change and remove a familiar flavor
no lard to make those butter biscuits today
Hushpuppy corn bread is the way to go

Andrea Dietrich April 23, 2012 at 11:40 PM this seems sad, Doris. About the butter biscuits, I think I heard lard made them really yummy!! but the hushpuppy corn bread sure sounds good too.

Phyllis Babcock April 23, 2012 at 12:25 PM I guess lard biscuits won't make you slender but I like Sara's thoughts of angel biscuits nice and light. Lovely poem Doris. love phyl

Sara Kendrick April 23, 2012 at 9:38 AM Yes, those biscuits need to be light now instead of heavy..Do you have my angel biscuit recipe? If not, good one to have for they are lighter than those heavy biscuits..Great write about the topic..Thanks for stopping by..Mom
