Not from the last winter....

The pastry chef
Bakes cakes and breads
Took a nap, burnt them

in breads, coffee and cakes

I thank God for George Washington Carver
he invented peanut butter
a peanut connoisseur

(Gathering of thankful family and friends)
 
Time for a Thanksgiving feast
Hope you’re all hungry
There’s stuffed turkey finely browned,
pineapple glazed ham, salads,
Collard greens, hot breads…
Yam pudding, bundt cakes, 
Pies, and more		
Eat!...

Bereft of life her eyes
Barren they stare as folks
Bring casseroles, breads, pies
Bouquets of fresh flowers
Business of world still thrives
Bright summer day so warm
Baby of hers lies cold

Cobblestone streets
In an Old Italian town
Scents of breads and of wine

A sense of tradition
A world of romance
A feeling, I’d like to make mine.

Traveling here
The sun on my back
A village of beauty; pristine.

The wonderful accents
The land of amore
The quaint Italian scene....

Croissant making
Bread baking
Yeast slaking
Crust caking
Bread

Potato
Pumpernickel
Whole wheat
Enriched white
Bread

The smell of it
You will have a fit
Fresh from the oven
Your Grandma’s apron
Your mother’s way of buttering it
There is nothing more heavenly-tasting in the world.
Bread!...

A diaphanous veil
This world to next
Yet what's beyond
Still keeps us vexed

We dangle on
Such wispy threads
Just a fancy's flight
From fancy breads

We take for granted
Each new breath
When naught but heartbeats
From our death

So, fill your days
With purpose, rife
For all we really have ...
Is LIFE....

Today
I made the grocery list
For delivery.
The breads, the turkey
  Slices, and ham, the lettuce 
For salad
  Which led to discussing tomatoes;
The yogurt, milk, cream; 
 peanut butter; tissues even,
But, oh confound!
I forgot cake!  
  How do I forgive myself that?

Freezer's ice coated
Filled with goodness
Strawberry loaded
Peach extraordinariness(may not be a word)

Different breads
Many spreads
Meaty treats
Plus pimento cheese

Homemade cake
Cupcakes candy coated
Oh! Those ladies
What food made

All for the young lady
Who sang God's praise
Her voice did raise
In glory of his name...

It was the war of the cookies, battle lines were fiercely drawn
Dipped versus no dip, diagonal frosting turned on
Sprinkles versus non-sprinkles, arguments about a treat
Dipped cookies bringing in generals, all kinds of heat.
Pure breads adamantly denying that icing was any good.
Causing a huge daily skirmish in our confectionary neighborhood....

A Raw Wish

If you come some mid-spring's day
Oh! At late afternoon!
To here, this lush quiet meadow:
Free to the far stony walls, thorny weeds and wood.
I shall serve you in samovar steaming tea, homemade breads and desi ghee.
My love, I shall show you how
Giant shadows are slipping over the sandy mount;
And horned sheep hurrying home,
Little lambs stumbling....

Grace to the feet that frees
the nose that sniffs 
and the eyes that sees.
Banquet, is it?
Bet the foods are free
Trust, they come in three;
Chocolate cakes, fresh of the fresh
Crumb breads, hot from the crest
Golden gooses, gift from Dante's inferno.
A step at a time;
I will have my seat
have my fill
and before I have my leave
I will ask, 
'whose party is it'?...

We battle the tide
It washed us to a side...
Yet we are alive
To tell the tale to those who arrive!

We are battered
Enemies claim friends
And eat with us breads buttered
And leaves when it all ends!

Hope we hang onto
Believing it comes very soon
That we shout, Pronto!
All of a sudden as if to swoon...

Come soon while we yet live
Cos in nothing else we believe!...

This plate of holiday baking you did bring by 
was really kind 
I unzipped the zip lock
to get inside
cookies and brownies
and bread of banana
but what was a surprise especially so
was to discover you know
I am
a lover
of corner cut smaller pieces
and cookies of extra crunch
and the ends of the breads
sometimes quite dry
are okay too

happy holidays as well to you!...

Exposing some criminals  globally, 
Demand  collaboration of writers,  
Who stand to do thing intentionally, 
To discourage millions of world wrongdoers.

It is known as one of dangerous tasks 
Which can also  put  breads on the table
Reason why they sit long on writing desks 
Just to continue being suitable.

Tangled shackles ,
finite spaces.
From life to end,
One hope in the eyes,
To meet infinite ways.
The needs and the breads.....
We only care.
Who constantly stare....
Seeking liberation.
Times facing nastiest sunlights
And the human who frights!.....
Me,you,is we all stand accountable.
Will take a lot grit!
To free the spirit...
The day will come....
The day will come....

She’s a cereal killer
She chomps the Wheaties into bits
She’s a cereal killer
But please let’s not have any fits.

She masticates harder than most
She’s a killer of breads
Does serious damage to cinnamon toast
She’s the one of whom nightmares dread.

She’s a cereal killer
All the way up and down the kitchen
Now that you’ve been warned,
Please stop your annoying b…………………....

Gracious Sally; my black haired Sally.
You've dawned a bright red cap.
My chicken balls; my coffee please.
A fortune before my nap.
You've tinged your bell; the coffees ready.
The customers turn their heads.
It's you I see; you waiting free!
with chicken balls in their breads.
And when at cash you call for me
and nod a tray you pass.
That after money and after thanks
your smile comes with a laugh....

You have guests downstairs.
In the half lit room, insinuation whispers in intimacy. I never took you there.
But, I am too, grown up portion sizes of loaves of breads, with another spread of jam.
And I console myself. Often there. It has a name.
Worldbuilding. Graduation. Diplomacy.
And for the first time,
It came to my mind.
Ozone had three O’s there, precisely.
I thought I knew it!
Elsewhere....
