Earthy Brown Confection
Virginia Salter

Truly, I must get to the kitchen
applesauce bars
just like Mama’s
filled with raisins
drenched in powdered sugar
nuts, luscious walnuts
spiced to perfection
in their earthy brown
confection.

What may have chased me
into this reverie?
A winter’s drive
‘neath a canopy of heavy gray
hanging low,
then, there in the distance,
the canopy rises
revealing
spicy hills
lumpy with walnut boulders
dusted in powdered sugar
snowflakes
looking scrumptious enough to eat.

Wanna meet me by the oven?
Wanna steam the raisins
and stir the sauce?
Wanna wait aloft
in the wafting aroma
for dreams worth tasting?

Glad you liked it insect. I haven't made the bars, though. Not supposed to eat that kind of stuff, but I may succumb. the only thing saving me...never have been able to make them like my mama.

Hi Vas,

This was wonderful, we never seem to forget Mama's cooking, and its funny what can bring our memories back to the present, very much enjoyed.

Love, Cerenity
