I have to say I love pie

One that’s pleasing to the eye

Let’s talk about lemon meringue

A bit sweet with a lot of tang

The colors are beyond compare

Bright sunshine,white clouds; it has flair

And then the rhubarb, chunky and tart

I must admit this one has my heart

Straight from the garden cooked in a pot

It is heavenly, is it not?

A Texas neighbor made chocolate cream

The taste made you think it ‘twas obscene

Only a small bit of white on top

The dark chocolate flavor didn’t stop.

Of course I would be amiss

If I forgot the USA’s kiss

Of apple, tart but also sweet

With added cinnamon makes it a treat

All the fillings, fruit or cream

Wouldn’t make pie as good as it seems

If the crust was dull, soggy or limp

Needs a fine pastry with curled edge as a primp.

Now I’m craving pie🙄

  7. I think I may have posted this before somewhere for a 99 word challenge. But it does deal with the complex topic of pies.
    Remind me to tell you about the ‘Pie Floater’ some time. A culinary delight available at ‘Harry’s Cafe de Wheels’ in Sydney.
    But anyway …..
    *
    This body, clearly not ideal
    Is purely circumstantial
    Decisions on my every meal
    Entirely financial
    Caviar, imported wine?
    A lovely suggestion ….
    restaurants where I’d like to dine
    Remain out of the question
    Fast-food options, far and wide
    Upset my self-impression
    The lack of taste, a loss of pride
    Likely leading to depression
    So hungry for both love and food
    And lacking satisfaction
    A desire to enhance my mood
    Will put me into action
    I’ll find a lady, short and stout
    With a patisserie
    I’ll woo her, and I’ll ask her out
    Then I’ll get my pies for free

  11. Hi Cheryl, I agree with you on that apple pie, lattice top maybe, and a bit of ice cream. I’ve heard that some people in America put a slice of cheese on their apple pie, is that correct? I loved your poem – such clever rhyming made it a joy to read.
