Pie


“Nothing tastes sweet, wet, salty and dry all at once o well it's pie”
~ Andie Macdowell

Pies begin with precision,
lovely decision.
They end with enthusiasm!
Sweetly baked fruit pie,
nut-filled pastry chasm!
Me oh my,
pie!

Blueberry calls me ... used to pick them in Virginia and make my own pies, but now I'm Florida situated. Delightful poem. I read your bio and turned green: did you get to write creatively for a living? Who pays for that? I wish I had investigated all that in the 70s instead of being such a busy hippy chick! I've always loved writing. CayCay

Yes, but no bylines (not important) CayCay. Most were for national non-profit organizations, newsletters, pamphlets, short 'learning' books, church news - that kind of thing. Paid and pro bono. Oh the hippie chick shone through in my work LOL. Love that you love writing. :)

Apple and orange pies with ice cream are a delightful mixture. It's been quite some time since I had them. When I read your 'Pie' poem, I want to have some. Congratulations on your win! Linda

Apple and orange pies with a scoop of ice cream are indeed a treat. It's long since I had them. When I read your 'Pie' poem, I am tempted to have some. All the Best Linda.
