Maryanna's Challenge - Write 30 poems in 30 days in the Month of April

Here are the first two poems. They may not be the number one best poems you ever read but they are poems. Wish me luck with the rest of the month.

Poem #1  Pies

Pies, pies, and more pies.

Flours sifted, strained;

strained shaken.

Butter folded;

but you folded;

gave in to the deception.

Knead, need flowers;

knead, need, knead.

Rolling, pushing, and pulling;

don’t knead too much, didn’t need that much.

Laying it out,

all on the line.

Cut the dough in half,

and separate the two, one here, and one there.

What an odd pairing, paring knife in hand, slice the apples not too thick and lay one out.

Lay one out, fill with fruit, top with sugar, butter, and sprinkle the cinnamon.

Place the other on top hugging the edges together and hope that it works out.

Bake until golden and pray it doesn’t leak, drip, spatter across your whole life.

Let it cool down, cool down, calm down; it will be alright.

Everything works out for the best, it works out,

out of your hands now.

Wait for a while until you taste, don’t want to get burned, not again.

Wait, wait, and wait;

There are plenty of freaking pies.

Poem # 2

Hands

Hands do, feel, touch, connect, love, knead, pound, grab, throw, catch, wave, paddle, scratch, slap, clap, point, let go, beckon, halt, tear down, build up, and heal.

Hands do it all!
