I think that I shall never see
a poem as lovely as a . . . .
Plate of oatmeal-raisin cookies and chewy fudge brownies!
Aah . . . that’s better!
Related poem: Trees by Joyce Kilmer
Addendum: After reading aawwa’s comment, I swung through cyber space to check out her post ~ I Love Trees (All About Words) ~ which features Joyce Kilmer’s poem and 29 photos of trees. See if you can guess which two photos were taken in London.
😀 Now I want a brownie.
Brownies + Breakfast = Perfect Together!
You’re so bad . . . in a wonderful way.
Thank you! I be bad. 😛
I am pleased to see that my blog (the poem) has a little bit of influence in the world 😉 Did you bake those cookies and brownies – yum 😉
I didn’t see your post until just now. As soon as I saw your comment, I swung around straight away. Joyce Kilmer must be delighted that his poem is still being recited the world round. 😀
BFF baked the cookies and brownies for our get-to-gether on Easter. YUM is right.
Trees don’t taste as good as cookies.
Except to Koalas. 😉
If I hadn’t just consumed a red velvet cupcake, I’d bite my monitor.
I get that!
I see you don’t know much about Joyce Kilmer. The poet was actual male. He was a British soldier fighting in World War I, when he wrote the poem. He was later killed in battle. Then this poem was discovered among his belongings.
I hope this doesn’t upset you.
When I was going to school, we kids were all made to sing the words; making us boys groan, because the words sounded so “girly”.
It doesn’t upset me in the least . . . I don’t know where you got the idea that I didn’t know that Joyce Kilmer was a “he.”
As I said above, “Joyce Kilmer must be delighted that HIS poem is still being recited the world round.”
Sorry about that. I was sure that I saw him refered to as “She” or “Her” by someone on this blog. Now taking a second look at all the entries, I don’t see it. I hope I’m not developing some kind of a problem.
My reference to Lorraine’s post says “her post” . . . perhaps you read that as “her poem”?
Either way, thanks for sharing some information on Kilmer. Before posting this, I did review his Wikipedia bio and saw how young he was when killed in battle.
Thank you Nancy. I’m glad to know it wasn’t some form of “Creeping alzheimers!”
That IS good to know. 😀
Ooooo those brownies!
Almost as good as Yoder’s Chocolate Chip Cookies, eh? 😉
Well I have to do another taste test!
Once is never enough . . . 😉
Okay – I’m going to put it way out there and say this is what I want for dinner tonight! 😀
Yes! My work here is done! 😛
……and I would have to agree…..
I am quite fond of trees, but not to the same extent as a few favorite consumables.
Oh my, I am SO hungry……..
My bad.
At least it’s almost time to dine.
Yes indeed. Brownies make everything better.
Great dessert for a crowd . . . ice cream optional.
Perfect! Just perfect Nancy!
Thanks for the inspiration. Pairing poems with food = FUN!
Oh no…the power of suggestion!…. Now, I want to find some brownies and cookies…or..maybe I can brush up on my pottery skills and make a pretty blue bowl instead?
I have quite the collection of pottery . . . mostly BLUE! None made by my own hand. 😎
Yum, fudge brownies! Is there any more perfect dessert?
Brownies are definitely a contender . . . in my Top 3 List.
I’m sitting here knowing there is still Easter chocolate in the kitchen…this didn’t help! LOL!
No. It wouldn’t help me either. 😛
