Ode to my Mother’s Chocolate Chip Cookies


Time after time

Fresh from the oven with her chocolatey chippy cash and prizes

Her palette, the batter  

Her canvas, the oven

Her masterpiece, the Tupperware container

Brimming with choco-phenomenon

Milk is flattered to share the table with such splendid finery

Grown, civilized men squabble for first pick of the batch

Their redolence renders resolve undone

Their flavorsome physique finds asylum there

Safe within the belly

It only takes one bite

Of one cookie

And every Christmas, Thanksgiving, Birthday

Is forever tainted

Spoiled

Incomplete without the container

Refilled with warmth and goodness

Thus, the pilgrimage begins

On the road to delectable destiny

May you get lost along the way

Leaving more for me

More sweet more
