The wonder, the plunder, the marvel of words
that snap our attention, cause anger and fear,
joy and elation, laughter and tears
and sometimes,
sometimes
sprinkle fairy dust upon the ordinary.
There it was, “apples, sauced.”
Oh, how delightful that sounds,
a delectable dish, undoubtedly served
with swagger and swish.
Not plain old apple sauce,
which children love
and hospitals too
but you won’t find it taught at Cordon Blue.
Sandra,
I loved your poem “Words.” I could actually hear your voice reading the poem. A delight! I miss seeing you and enjoying your perfectly cooked eggs.

Many thanks for your comment. It’s funny I was thinking about the soft boiled eggs and the fun we had at board week the other day. It is good to hear from you Stay well, Fondly, Sandra
Sweet! It tells me that with just a little swish I can even sprinkle fairy dust on my sea-salty fish. Thanks!
Many thanks for your comment — and oooo salty sea fish and fairy dust – what fun.
Delighted to see and enjoy a poem by you. You always had a way with words. It seems you now have more time to be creative. Good for YOU!
Hi Pat,
How nice of you to comment on my poem. I’m not doing much writing but trying to get myself going again.
Hope all is well with you, Fondly Sandra
Love it! Enjoyed the rhyme with delectable dish and swagger and swish. Also enjoyed the way you took something ordinary and made it extraordinary. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for your comment. I enjoyed writing this poem
and it makes me very happy when others enjoy it too.
