Recipe



You know how it works

It sits there
somewhere                     and cooks
in the unexplorable
reaches
of the
mind

from a comment
casually made
a phrase                          dropped
a leaf
f
   a
       ll
           ing

Even a clichéd line
can ante the pot
and start                         simmering
the boil

Stir it                               occasionally
as needed
or raise the ante            if you must
but don’t watch it
too closely

Let it brew

I like your definition much better, Krawdad...I just refer to it as percolating...

like the earth does....



Gads, I wish this were a book submission.....

You know what they say about a watched pot..
This is very cleverly done..
and much enjoyed by this reader.

Taking a writing lesson from this one....from the way it's built and painted....been looking at for quite a while and learning little things, and I think I'll just sit here and watch it a while more.

(sigh) Because what's the use of enjoying a feast unless you let the aroma fill your senses and let that alone tantalize you and then taste the ingredients in a whole new form! (big hugggssssssss) This is wonderful, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet friend, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,

Excellently steeped!

EmbarrassedToBeHere, you're right, that's Krawdad...no e.e.cummings around this place...maybe you should go look for him elsewhere?
