Hungary at last;
Kecskemét and Budapest,
All fun and no rest.

Stopping by Slovakia
Next, Bratislava,
Crossed the bridge to Austria,
Walked with stamina.

Checking out Czechia
Started out in Prague,
I’ve so much to catalog.
Was I all agog!

Delayed Reaction
Sweaty and winded,
Greeted with closed boarding gate,
Missed connecting flight.
Re-routing given,
This time a two-hour delay;
Murphy’s Law gone wild.
Frazzled since midnight
Checked-in carry-on is lost,
Along with my mind.
Chocolate Strawbs Forever
Image by Hymn
Tucked between pancakes,
Chocolate-chipped strawberries,
Coconut sprinkled.
****************
Pancake ingredients all mixed in a bowl:
1 ¼ cups pastry flour
1 tbsp baking powder
1 tbsp raw sugar
1-2 tbsp flaxseed meal
¾-1 cup leftover cooked oatmeal
1-2 cups homemade tapioca pudding
1 egg
3 tbsps cooking oil (I used safflower oil)
Enough cups of almond milk (or flaxseed milk or any milk) to make your batter not too thick or thin, whichever you prefer
Still Young
Once alive and well,
Full of hope and a future.
Now the young are still.
(May those who perished from the Manchester bombing rest in peace and their families find comfort. My condolences to them.)
Feel the Heal

Hot head, short fuse,
Sorry for the abuse.
Forgive the heel to butt,
I just treat you like my mutt.
Cushy bed, hot meal.
Make amends, begin to heal.
Now do me till I squeal,
That’ll seal the deal.

Plea to See

Art, art, where art thou?
Modern art, you’re elusive;
Appear before me.
Is there a message?
What mystery do you hold?
Oh, nothing at all.
Morning Bling

He snickers at me;
Poppy seed between my teeth.
That’s my morning bling.
Chomping my breakfast,
An everything bagel
Gives me my black gem.
Sizzle to Fizzle

Their chemistry was right
At least at first sight,
For months they were tight
Then came the big fight.
Both their hearts took a bite
From each other they took flight,
Then after nearly a fortnight
They agreed to reunite.
But things don’t always crystallize
They soon realize,
When there’s no more to analyze,
Or a desire to compromise.
