DONUTS AND MILK

DONUTS AND MILK
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I crave a treat, a sweet delight
one that brings a smile and makes my morning bright. 

Donuts and milk, a perfect pair
my favorite breakfast, beyond compare.

The milk, a chalice, pure and white
a perfect complement to the donut's sugary delight.

Glazed, iced, cake, or filled with jelly
each bite a journey that goes straight to my belly. 

Donuts and milk become one with me
a perfect harmony, a deliciously sweet symphony.

Hi Sara, may I use a few lines from this poem for Crystol's Cento contest (I'm not sure my Soupmail went through).

Sure sounds yummy... When did I last have a donut? Twenty years ago? twenty five? And has it made any difference in my waistline?... lol. Maybe I should chill a bit, eh?

wow, that's a long time to go donut-free. I don't regularly eat donuts because one leads to another then another. Perhaps if I ate one more regularly I wouldn't eat so many at once. An experiment! Hubby Bill is in! :-)

We had some scrumptious donuts yesterday! Brought them to church…some left over because many people brought food. Hugs ~ Kim

someone always brings donuts to our Bible study group. They typically disappear before we ever get started. thanks for your visit, hugs , Sara

Oh, I like this one, Sara! Although where I come from, it's typically donuts and coffee, as in Tim Horton's Coffee and Donuts (which is iconic in Canada). Cheers!

aww, thank you, Jim. Glad you liked this poem. I do donuts and diet soda....hoping the soda will diminish the calories :-) appreciate your visit and comments...enjoy your evening, Sara
