Pie Thieves

My
mother's
apple pie
straight from oven
smiling memories of her warm kitchen
frowning, the pie had disappeared from view
in the tree house
three bad boys
eating
pie

Your mom missed the girl hiding eating the pies with those 3 boys. That evil girl was me, And the pie thieves were my wicked pie thieves cousins. Can you believe it Barb? We saw you too and you were sneaking some of the pie too and stuffing all in your mouth.that was before we took it away. Sorry Barb I did eat it with them bad boys. But couldn't resist your mom's deliciousness. Do you forgive me? Hope you do. After all remember that you had some of it too. Lol...lol..loved your poem and the pies. Good luck in the contest! Hugs! ;)xxx D.

Ah, I'd written but not posted one on my mother's apple pie (not nearly as good a poem as yours). Nothing I've tasted since could compare to Mom's pie. Love the way your pie "disappears" and makes its way to the tree house. A great entry for the contest! Always love seeing your name on the winners' list. Love, carolyn

Barbara . . . A quite beautiful write here!! In my younger years, I probably would've been one of those "bad boys" enjoying this wonderful apple pie!! All the best, Gary
