Life can be construed as a series of obstacles to be subdued Or given lemons is another view with which to make lemonade is the thing to do Being that in all situations there is a difference each lemonade will require unique ingredients Searching for lemonade recipes can consume a lifetime with ease Time can be wasted Searching for the best ever tasted It is a fool’s pursuit Might as well put on a tie and suit Double dipping from the well Gathering recipes to sell (poem #4 Lemonade Recipes series) |

I understand, Lori, as we live on we use different lemonade recipes to confront and defeat problems in life. Even have to build recipes for the pleasant things we encounter. After awhile, the lemonade can't help but become weaker. ~*~ Why is bra singular and panties plural. ~*~ |

In addition, we can become distracted. For example, life can give us lemons in the form of mice and the lemonade might be mousetraps. However, a person, instead of focusing on getting rid of the mice decides to focus on trying to make a better mousetrap and making lots of money instead. So looking for the "perfect lemonade" for each of life's lemons can be a fool's journey that keeps us from solving our problem and moving on. Greed is just one distraction....Lust, anger and hate are a few others. Yes, I would agree that makes for some pretty weak lemonade. Lori  |

I see you have given the lemonade a great deal of thought. ~*~ Why is bra singular and panties plural. ~*~ |

I like the lemons, tangy and tart, with a twist of vodka too much sugar can make one ill. Cool poem, I like your recipe collection that you are working on. Keep on going ! |
