An offering from my mental kitchen.

Thinking back I wonder Was it the crust? We had the ingredients of a lifetime Sweet petunia petals Earthy spice drops Aromatic roots Pink and purple magic Combined with care Bound by love’s pure nectar Bubbling perfectly in life’s joyful oven Somehow I forgot the recipe I reset the timer Adjusted the temperature Ignored the smolder Then managed to lose it all The pliable crust that I had placed To protect the nectar Had become hardened Dark and brittle Porous Petals wilted into sticky darkness Nectar turned to coal Thinking back I realize It wasn’t the crust We had the ingredients of a lifetime Copyright 2012 Patrick Granfors

The first line of the middle stanza says it all: "Somehow I forgot the recipe." Unfortunately, a too coomon problem. The results are never pretty.

It was not the crust it was the old crustacean in charge of the kitchen that ruined the recipe? Catchy title and bubbly phrasing makes this a pleasing and delicious potpourri Patrick. This one came out of the oven piping hot.

Shades of MacArthur Park - he left that cake out in the rain, and it took so long to bake it, and he'll never have that recipe again. Oh, No...

Such depth in receioe of your pie, but
the sweet taste is in the sharing....

you really do some heavy lifting here... rearranging the heavy mental furniture in my mind to account for this delicate balance, this deft combination of fragile elements so carefully wrought... form and finesse unite here, Patrick... a subtle touch indeed...

Somehow, in my stupidity of poetry, somehow I believe your "Sweet Petunia Pie" to be an ingredient for life rather than for an uneatable, indigestible substance.

We have the ingredients. A heart blessed with God's spirit.
Petunia's are a reminder of the beauty and colour given.

Even sweet petunias, when baked in a pie, must be eaten quickly, or they'll grow old, turn to mold, and if you eat them, you will die.

That's why we bury our dead and don't eat them. ;-)
