wild eyed pancakes
invented by grandma
two kernels of corn for eyes
delighting her grandchildren
sometimes a mistake makes the best memory

Pancake Meditations
"Will I grow to be much fatter?"
I wondered as I stirred the batter,
"and, if I do, what would it matter?",
as the pancakes, they grew flatter.

Pancake
The circle widens slower and comes to a stop.
Bubbles form on the surface - and then go pop.
If it looks like it's shiny and it's still wet,
it probably isn't quite ready yet.
I think watching it is really a trip -
watching and waiting for the right time to flip.

The Ballad of the Pancake Brothers
two brothers hailed from the old country
from Donnybrook
one more like an engineer
the other like a cook
they specialized in pancakes
the best, you can't deny
Sean made them taste like heaven
Finn stacked them high
supplies came from all around
in wagons and in trucks
Sean whipped up the batter
and ol' Finn he constructs
with eggs from every chicken
and milk from

Legendary Pancake Brothers

one more like an engineer, the other like a cook.
They specialized in pancakes - the best, you can't deny.
Sean made them taste like heaven, and Finn stacked them high.
Supplies came from all around, in wagons and in trucks.

A Pancake is a Pancake
You can call them flapjacks.
and you can call them hotcakes,
You might call them johnny cakes or griddle cakes or crepes.
I don't see the difference that it makes.
They come by many a name,
but a pancake is a pancake
just the same.

Moomy, Smoke and a Pancake
Sweet mother, Virginia Slim wedged between your fingers,
that last light willed to die at the rig
of a darkened room.
You—half-goddess, half-ghost, pinioned in some still-life setting
of tumbled smoke and silver hair.
I’d always thought the air around your form was tilted at some aberrant angle,
the world unaligned with your shape.

THE PANCAKE SAID
The pancake said
To the egg
I’m prettier than you
I have a gorgeous
Brown color and I’m
Also filling and can be any size
I also have two best friends
Butter and syrup

My New Old Mourning Routine
There are tears mixed
into the pancake batter
sun is still obfuscated
by the window shades
without sunshine, I still
wind up a morning person
Tobacco clings to me,
where your scent would be
sewn with many memories
into the mesh of myself
a premature family crest,
stained and worn
The new day shows
only one outcome remains
the eggs are runny,

My Pancake Concoction
I sprinkle corn in my pancake batter.
Not enough to make the pancake lumpy
but enough corn, that I taste it.
Topping off my pancake with peanut butter
and butter and maple syrup
and maybe a touch of whipped cream
just in case I need another bit of sweet

A Pancake Moon
I tossed my pancake
Right into the sky
I looked up and saw
It stuck to the night
A perfect round
Done just right
Glowing with syrup
As it perked me up!
It tempted me alright
Have you ever tried
Tossing your pancake
Into the open sky
It inched closer to me
As it grew very fat
I held out my plate
And it dropped
Just like that!
