Easy Baker
The day closes in
hand picked blueberries
sit waiting
softly calling for sugar
in a batch of pancakes
spatula in hand
I wait
bubbles across cake lakes
dotted blue
the scent brings back Easy Bake
oven cakes
lightbulb heating
siblings and I wait
tiny yellow rounds
precious sun cakes
fancy fodder for ravenous children
Oh, so delicious
tiny pieces for all

Lovely – aromas make time travel possible!
I, too, was an Easy Baker.
My favorite phrase, a perfect blueberry pancake picture:
“bubbles across cake lakes
dotted blue”
nothing like baking
to stimulate
memories
I like the poems you find in a spatula or a dot of blue.
Thank you for your comments!
