Boast brownies baking
in dirty palm oil bacon fat
Sugar-coated swine vanilla cupcakes;
pineapple upside down snout snacks,
so coconut phone hasty ...
Sound-byte puff pastry

Flour-face teflon pan —  
tart marshmallow mint muffin
Silver tongue baguette 
spooning out citrus acid banter batter, 
so sour cream tasty ...
Lip huff puff pastry

Pinocchio...

i am a pastry chef
the constant baker my lot in life
i have shelves filled with life's spices
grains from many different fields
my ovens are in constant heat
doors begging to be opened
that feed the outer shop
where the world may peruse, purchase 
if it so cares
but on that...

Small things Remembered 
 
The shop at the corner 
Of my childhood 
Has stopped selling Danish pastry
Nor has it Coco macrons,
Milk and cheese
The rooms are bare 
On its counter cutting cheeses in smaller portion
An old fashion weight 
Used when selling butter
Dusty windows
Forgotten, no one says:...

All night thinking, drafting, writing down and scratching out
All morning carefully crafting, shaping, baking and re-baking
My masterpiece of the week

Summertime is freedom
Freedom to try and try again
A time to express and create
The earth shares it’s bounty
And it’s my turn to be bountiful

Sweet, tart, a hint...

Those bread rolls look so yummy,
Can you buy me some sissy?

You mean those brioche buns?
So sweet for you, my little one.

But candies are much sweeter,
May I have one my dear sister?

Timmy, I don’t have enough dime,
Can we buy one next time?

But sissy, I’m starving now,
Can...

Still wind as the couple walks down the lane.
Stolen glances as they avoid touching hands.
Pastry puff upon the air, Sunday morning dew,
Too near for comfort, too far for pain.

How I wish I could evade this fearsome torment so divine!
If I could only pluck the bittersweet...

words and dough knead together

It was a very cold wintery day,
I had no coat and was full of dismay;
As I held my small boy close to my heart,
that we were so poor- well that really hurt.

As we passed a pastry shop my boy said,
"I want one mommy, please...

The pastry chef made some cuisine
Then he went to use the latrine
He played in his pants
Which was covered with ants
Then fell into the mixing machine...

How I longed for and every morn,
For a decadent slice of cake,
At beginning of every dawn,
Was hooked, my heart did often ache.

Not fussy, fairy cake or bun,
To be sweet, I was for sure born,
Rain, snow, mist, hail or scorching sun,
How I longed for and every...

Lily White was in the mood for sweets 
Walking the streets 
Came across pastry treats 
Modern Royals pull out a dessert spread 
Enough that armies could be fed 
Magpie this Magpie that 
Oh mag pies get Lily White fat 
Picking up one in the first...
