My goodness the trees!
How tall they grow together
With long winding roads
Leading to a friendly feast
Where apple pie is best pie

Such disappointment
In my time management skills
And yet there is bliss
Like bitter-sweet chocolate
In fresh baked home style cookies

How could this happen?!
Beyond this cruel deck called life,
You were still with us.
Rest in peace Doctor Yolo
Our quarantine specialist.

Sweet maple syrup
Over flapjacks stacked five high
Laced in white sugar
Accented with strawberries
Or blueberries in a pinch.

exhausted I fall
deep into a feathered dream
through the shadowed gate
just past the midnight draw bridge
a starlight palace awaits

Come and join me here
Gather around the camp fire
Share a song or two
Spread cheer and chocolate squares
Between s’mores cooked golden brown.
