Skip to the Bottom for the Recipe
I envy those that can write
When happy
Most of my writing happens
With tears in my eyes
Gasping breaths
Heart stolen from my sleeve
In petty thefts
And it’s almost as if this
✨e m o t i o n a l l a b o r✨
Is a necessary ingredient
Enhancing my work
Throwing in this fine seasoning
All mixed up in a paste
No exact measurements
Just adding to taste
Then inviting some guests
To try it while it’s still hot

Wow.
I love it that you use the word paste. The texture and tone really fit the recipe. Great little poem with a punch
This is a rich poem, J. My favorite part:
“No exact measurements
Just adding to taste
Then inviting some guests
To try it while it’s still hot”
🤌💋Chef’s kiss to this poem! So good!
