Oatmeal
Smell the steam
and drizzle some sugar
then stir in a flowered bowl
add just a bit of cream and parsley greens
to make for a healthy soul
But, wait, don’t forget
fruits and berries galore
only bittersweet is the best oatmeal
so you must add them too,
for a bite with extra zeal
Take one more swig
of that cup o’Joe
and leave a tip goodbye
Thank your helper before you go
for a meal as sweet as pie
(2013)
A more light-hearted poem to add a little humor and charm to your day!
