poetry: a developing novice attempts to capture thoughts and observations

Light harvest
Disappointment circles the table
Focus on the sole object at its centre
Thoughts of delicious treats shattered
Because there is but one
Decisions to be made on how best to honour this gift
Be that pie, crumble, stewed
Consensus sought, compromise made
A pie is forming, hunger biting
Fruity aroma spills into the room
Crockery and cutlery set, for the feast
Then the door bell chimes, a stranger joins
With the harvest of Waitrose's finest.

I really liked 'Light Harvest': evocative and thoughtful. Probably drawn to this one because it is lighter than most, no clanging rhymes to distract from its charm. Will dip in again soon to see what you're doing.
