National Poetry Month--Tag des Neuns--Nonet poem--Pancake Temptations

 

 

Today we're doing nonets. For how to do one, go here. My poem is below.

Golden pancakes round and so fragrant

Tempting me into the kitchen

Dressed in liquid golden sun 

Arrayed like lily pads

You lie there sweetly

Come hithering

Hello chub

Hungry

Eat

A Choice, a Shirt, and a Stack of Pancakes--Pensee Poem

It's pensee poem day in National Poetry Month (at least for me).

Laundry

Fragrant with soap

Dances in the morning breeze

But against the moon, macabre.

In the basket? Not.

Daughter

Winsome and lithe

Fork in the road confronts her

Will she relax her grip and let

Her elder grow up?

Pancakes
Luscious syrup
Oozes down the yummy stack
Do I cut you in wheel spokes or
Just fold and gulp you?
