Pine Gate - A Poem

Pine Gate

 Through the pine gate

Woods ashen gray

The fairie sits on the

Throne of thorn and

Bone, antlers rising up

To the bow of an ancient

Oak - the last of its kind.


Wanderers wonder what

Treasures; lies through the

Gate, but never make it

Alive to tell tall tales of

Ruler faire and Daur

Entombed in the dying

Grove where no mortal dwells.

Ghosts, a poem

 Words can't be taken back Easily the hardest thing to master  Wondering how it might have been  Regrets, like ghosts; Wandering in the recesses, Finding past mistakes  Friends lost, Broken comradary, Shattered dreams of forever  Regrets, like ghosts; Forlornly remembering, Good times A hard word, a rude tone, Said to those we love Over what? A small thing Regrets, like ghosts; Of a word, a thought, an action, Spiral into the void  Fresh day, new prospective, Take it as it comes No looking back Regrets, like ghosts; Haunting the mind In the middle of the night

Egg Salad

Egg Salad Time and Servings: 25 min     1-2 servings Recommended ways to serve: I love to eat egg salad on fresh bread or a multigrain bagel with fruit on the side. You can also eat on a bed of lettuce or plain with bagel chips on the side. Ingredients: 2 eggs 1 Tbsp pickle relish 2 Tbsp mayo (I like Avocado Mayo, but any type works) salt to taste sprig of fresh dill or chives, minced (optional) Directions: Add eggs to a small pot of cold water (make sure the eggs are covered) and bring to a boil. Boil eggs for 8-9 minutes. Drain eggs and let stand cracked in cold water for 1-2 min (optional to help them peel well), then peel. Add peeled eggs, mayo, pickle relish, salt, and if desired dill/chives. Mix to combine. Enjoy!
