Single Syllable P

I could pick up the pace, pack my portfolio with poor-to-middling products. But I’m feeling peckish, so will instead toast some bread and fill its pocks with creamy butter.

Be Colorful

My li’l rebellious self
Chooses colors of the nose
Instead of focusing on the eyes
I offer you instead
Perfumes of butter, brown sugar,
Eggs and flour
Sourdough    bananas
Cinnamon     Nutmeg and Honey
Chocolate     cranberries      pecans
Slow baking and sensual
Close your eyes and inhale
Warm from my oven
To your palate
