M. L. Kiser Poet Prose

Its All In the Mix

When the game of life, 
throws that,
lemony curve ball;
you have no choice
but to stop and make…
lemonade.

Everyone’s been there,
at some point.
No degree or miracle
will cure all ills;
it takes a clever and hopeful outlook;
to stir the sour liquid.
A little time spent in
exploration and positive thought;
will produce a much,
sweeter drink.

Daver Austin September 11, 2014 at 3:25 PM I like them apples, M.L. Good imaginative stuff. The last three lines of the first group are priceless. As a school teacher I used to ask a kid with a bad look,"Did you have vinegar on your pancakes this morning." This usually pissed him off even more. Love, daver M. L. Kiser September 11, 2014 at 11:18 PM Heh, thanks and I've heard that about the vinegar, before.

Andrea Dietrich September 10, 2014 at 11:49 PM Hi, there and thanks for visiting me today. I would like to try that dandelion stuff one day . I guess there are recipes on line!! M. L. Kiser September 11, 2014 at 1:35 PM Yes, there are...try this one first: http://www.almanac.com/content/dandelion-recipes-wonderful-edible-weed Dandelion tea has a slightly bitter, earthy taste, but with lemon and agave necter, it's wonderful. Any salad with the leaves, makes for a very nutritious meal.

Poet Destroyer A September 5, 2014 at 1:20 PM M.L., I loved this, the knowledge of just knowing, the game of life, hits us all, with a lemon stand. Makes, me grab bags of sugar. :):) :) and yes, I've been, more than one or 10 times... Let me put it to you this way, my skin tastes like lemon by now. Love and enjoyed...LINDA M. L. Kiser September 10, 2014 at 1:57 PM Hit with the whole lemon stand? Hmm...that must be agony. Thanks again for reading and commenting.
