Milquetoast

Start with something

safe,

I told myself.

About what to post

in my beginning days

of writerdom.

Then I reread those few poems

and immediately visualized

a boring and bland

breakfast.

Not bad and maybe even

needed

when achy tummies

crave

chamomile tea.

Not my belly.

I want to

devour

prime rib, lobster, foie gras,

lasagna, Irish smoked salmon, truffles,

delectable Mac and cheese,

homemade duck fat fries,

and Valrhona chocolate.

and I will*.

Hello my friends. Thank you for reading. Hoping the above chocolates made your mouths water. It makes me want to try and recreate from memory, my Mom’s fudge. Will let you know how that turns out :-)

Sending hugs and a wish for the world to BE KIND
Vee.
