Rendered and tendered

Rendered and tendered

A Poem by Donald Meikle

Take a sampling of interest
Dice slice spice and wrap it
Slow warm in an oven of love
Until firm with a bubbly crust
Set out to cool in evening ranges
Carefully balanced
Lest it deranges
Yearning and turning to lust
Flavor with arduous ferment and fear
Casting and sprinkling
All you hold dear
Then serve it forever
Bright clean and clear
On a platter of innocent trust

Oh, I so liked this piece. It is kind of cute and yet touches the reality of nurturing new love. I love the way its written as directions to a recipe...a recipe of relationships and love.

Then serve it forever
Bright clean and clear
On a platter of innocent trust

I think that is brilliant......wonderful lines.
