Cookies

The ovens turned to on  batter is mixed and made. Dough in spoonful dollops upon a sheet is laid. Timed to bake set and left the minute measure sings. Browned, done, ready to eat  aroma is scent to wing. I wait for the moment till I'll be moved to test.  I'll accept the acclaim  as homemade cookies are the best!

Dellena, a nice piece coming out of the holidays, and looking towards the next. There is a reminder that spans my years- certain scents of baking that bring back little boy thoughts. I'll share one of your cookies with you- or better, just walk into he room and wiff a waft of delight, the cookies, hot and ready to eat, or the memories and wholesomeness the effort contains. Thanks for this cookilishess look at the effort. Like chocalate, there is an almost sensual feel to the innocence of consumption.

OK, Delenna, what's your address and I'll be right there?!?!? You really got my olfactories geared up. I swear I can smell that sweet aroma right now. I'd say this poem is a success just on that alone, but there are some other reasons. Sometimes simplicity is best and the simplicity of four rhymed stanza's goes perfecto with your title. What a great way to spend a snowy sunday afternoon: reading such rewarding poems as this! Thanks for reminding me how delightful poetry about food and savory aroma's can be! Best, Sharon

Thank you Del, the aroma of those hitting Tully are oatmeal for me and chocolate chip for Jerry. Glad to find you baking from scratch too........mom used to, I did and my daughters do.....hope the granddaughters continue as they enjoy playing house and all. There is nothing like the smell of homemade cookies and pies filling the space both inside and out. Your words have created a hunger that I must now take time to satisfy. Hope you are well my friend, stay warm, stay safe....God Bless, Claire

Hi D....what a delightful poem this is. It is fun and written very well with a musical rhyme. I like the entire poem but the 2nd stanza is my favorite...that is if I had to pick a fav. You are so right...homemade cookies are the best! Thanks for this light hearted poem to begin my morning! cheers....mt

Dellena, What fun this was to read. Great verbiage- dallop,minute measure sings-- great sounds. Like the rhyme and flow. Have to ask though, possibly another word other than "wing", sounds a bit forced for rhyme, no matter; I liked the read and I WANT SOME COOKIES. Of course I have a weakness for cookies..LOL. Great job and thanks for the morning pick me up. Best always, Lora

Hi Dellena! What a sweet offering! Yummy! I loved the light yet personal touch of this poem! It penetrates to this reader. Its fun yet relaxed, simple yet playful. The spice and flavors are everywhere. Though, I believe a minor typo spelling problem of "batter" instead of "butter". Overall, its tasteful! As always, Erzahl
