How 2 Bake A Poem

Mix maroon heart with amber ambition
Silver start swiftly amethyst affliction 
How do you heal when you’re blue broken 
Create a poetic meal to eat keep hope and

Stir in sandy sonnets from years in the rain
Sprinkle Senryu, haiku despite peach pain
Let cranberry couplets cream morbid thought
Sift soulful sentiment knitted like amber art

Add a dollop of daylight in your wisest words
And mince moonlight sautéed by wing of bird
Knead the dough of poems soul as it forms
Pour in powdered pan man, woman so warm

Bake to taste by lavender lake full of adjectives 
You’ll know when it’s done for it’s like magic is
Transforming minds and making designs of brain
That’s how to bake a poem, green grace stay sane
