Saturday Kisses

 A few weeks ago I shared Our Favorite Chocolate Cake Recipe(one of my quick go-to's) *Here is another. I started mixing it while Saturday was feeling soft and slow, then suddenly wh-o-o-o-sh! it was gone. After multiple interruptions I returned to finish mixing and baking it just before supper.

Dog-eared lists twist Time’s prudence and passion

Vexing the hours of Saturday’s ration

This weekly portion of slow-exhale bliss

Tempers toil’s edges; sweet Saturday- kiss

Now Mundane-ness dons a friendlier hue

Don’t you love Saturday-eyes; sky-wide blue?

Don’t you love how her skirt shimmers and swirls

Where moments are music and women are girls?

…and Time is a treasure melding to  our hearts

Beautiful pictures that loving imparts

 Once every week Edict lowers her gaze

And soft- kisses cheeks with Saturdays
