Sean Rackley Poet Free verse

Pie

I love the way it looks,
     Glistening and steaming on the stove
The way it smells,
     Giving color to aroma
To taste it?
     Oh! Gift from above!

Chocolate, cherry, apple, lime
Love 'em all—if only time

If I see a slice,
I'll want to smell it
When I get the scent,
I'll most assuredly want a bite
And if I taste,

     I'll spoil my supper

It would be best for me to keep my nose in a book
And never ever enter the kitchen for a look
