Mildred’s Onion Rolls
A colleague once gave me, on paper, A recipe written by hand For Passover rolls And one of her goals Was for choices I’d make to expand.

When I make them, I’m thinking of Mildred, Though...

The Story Rolls On
Yo, check the wall! New calendar's up! Crisp corners, dates so clean, what's up? "New Year, New Beginning!" the cards all scream, Same old story, same old tired dream. But out HERE, where the city grinds, Where the real world leaves the fairy tales behind, A new beginning? Nah, that's a lie! The story keeps rolling, till the day we die! Like the...

The Thunder Rolls
The thunder rolls as the sky flashes bright. The clouds roll in as the lightning strikes. The children all tucked in snug in their bed, as mom walks away, "I'm scared", they all said. You hear that sound, she says, the thunder rolling, Do not be afraid, for it's only God and his angels bowling. But the lightning, they cry, it's...

Premium Member Lamenting Missed Rolls in the Hay
Upon well-worn barstools, tales two codgers tell, Deep in drink, their stories swell. Reflecting how the eons have flown, Strengths once had, now overthrown. "Ah, beauties chased, both bright and keen, Yet in our brews, our sighs unseen," One muses, his gaze alight with jest, "Great tales spun ‘bout adventurous quests." Yet as dusk deepens into night, Their bawdy laments take flight, For now, as...
