Saturday silliness: “Cookie fails”

Cookie Fails

I have committed all those sins, /

Once and again /

When baking the day away. /

In the kitchen I run /

Mixer, thumb, and hum /

As I try to get the dough my way. /

But, alas, by turns /

Overmixed to burned, /

My baking fails like clay /

Lost on a potter’s wheel /

Self-creation piecemeal /

That has gone astray. /

But fool that I be /

Mount Success for me /

So into the recipe I climb. /

Mix and shape /

Measure and bake /

Then wait again for the timer’s chime.

Then out come my cookies. /

Oh, take a look! See /

How they look divine. /

I sit on my stool, /

Fidgeting until cool, /

Then I dine on this feast of mine.

Haiku and photo: “Loaves”

Loaves

Six loaves a leaping /

Cranberries and pecans /

Taste the holidays.
