PAD Challenge Day 27: 🎂 Cake 🎂 and Eat It Too

PAD Challenge Day 27: Write an an anapodoton poem.

Cake and Eat It Too 

Life is not always berry sweet
full of confetti, rainbows 
and butteflies in our circle of life.
It can sprinkle unfortunate surprises.
We can receive lemons after lemons 
in a dark black forest of medley roses,
even when our hearts are red velvet.

Anywhere there's an Angel,
a Devil will try to cake up;
Get rich off your Godly confections.

Kind of ice cold to say,
Vanilla and Chocolate 
will never always have a fair 
share of what rises and pans out.

The entanglement of the swirl 
is just as incompatible and conflicting.
No matter the number of layers,
some will be handed corners,
others more centers of it all.

No matter how
small, medium or large;
Short or tall;
Buttercream is not always 
creme de la creme to us all.

But we must keep a glaze 
on God's miracle whips.
Keep whisking the 
ingredients of prayer 
and supplication to bake 
our special purposes on Earth.

I'm A Growing Woman Intro

Welcome Readers, It is not an easy transition into a grown woman from a girl. But I manage. I’m succeeding my womanhood, individuality, and essence to make the best of what I call “my life”.   Everything is everything. I am everything but a lot of things are not me.   No, I am not the most perfect person in the world but I know who is: God.   Sometimes I seem to think that I am too much of a woman. Why? Because I bare and yield all good fruit that humanity should feed from, but not all human beings aim for the fresh, sweet fruit. I have yet to find the match to my peach. I can live without the superficial, and only require what’s deeply real I’m no short talker, but more of a big dreamer. I mean what I say and I say what I mean. I live by it; my words are heavily bonded to my heart….. I’m much of a lover with a substantial heart--- a heart that is teaching me to be kind, patient, and loving all over again----every day. At times, I think I need a new one, because I lo...

PAD Challenge Day 30 (Two-for-Tuesday): "Alpha" & "Omega"

Image
PAD Challenge Day 30 (Two-for-Tuesday:   Write a "The End" poem, and/or write a beginning poem. Alpha I was seven when  I first tasted poetry. A bubbly, Southern girl  with pigtails and a smile.  From the tip to the back of  my strawberry tongue,  it became lemonade. Water to my minor soul; A major sweet  crystalline to my heart. Stirred me through  boiling points to refreshing seconds. Taught me how to roll  with the yellows and  tarts times of life. Omega Don't tell me to end. That's like telling me  to break up with  my bestfriends, Paper and Pen. And I don't know when  my last poem will be. I may die writing between  the stanzas of one  just for you to say  "Rest in Poem", poet. 💜D'ElegantOne

Not All Heroes Wear Capes The world may recognize and advertise one Wonder Woman. But I know several Wonder Women. Wonderful, wondrous women naturally suited in black.
