Look Again: Monthly Poetry Group

 

Last Friday of the month is for
Monthly Poetry Group to rhyme.
Diane, Mimi, and I take turns,

Through a Looking Glass, the theme this time.

 

As usual, today I'll try,

a poem to write . . . or fudge.

Whether I'm successful or not,

you get to be the judge.  

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Look Again

If I looked through a looking glass

what would I see?

Seems to be an older woman,

looking back at me. 

My curly hair is going grey,

some wrinkles on my face,

squinting to see clearly, I'm 

aging without much grace.

I may eat a bit too much,

I'm exercising less.

Not putting enough effort into,

new styles, when I dress.

 

S'mores Ice Cream Pie

But instead of just looking,

and judging what I see,

if I went through the looking glass,

might I disagree?

If I went through that looking glass,

could it set me free?

A whole new perspective,

now what would that be?

Viewing myself differently,

perchance I would see,

each line and grey's a lesson,

it's OK to look like me.

Printable Recipe

Ingredients:
5 graham crackers

5 chocolate graham crackers

3 TBSP sugar

5 TBSP butter, melted

3 cups chocolate ice cream

4 chocolate covered graham cracker cookies

2/3 cup mini marshmallows

3/4 cup heavy cream

2 tsp powdered sugar

2 tsp cocoa powder

1 small chocolate bar, shaved

6 regular sized marshmallows, halved

Directions:

*Grease a 10 inch deep dish pie plate. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

*Crush the graham crackers and the chocolate graham crackers. Mix with the sugar and melted butter. Press into the bottom and partially up the sides of the pie plate. Bake for 6 minutes, refrigerate to cool completely.

*Once the crust has cooled, place the ice cream in a large bowl and set aside on the counter for about 15 minutes to start to soften.

*While the ice cream is softening, chop the cookies, cut the mini marshmallows in half and set aside.

*Whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Add the powdered sugar and cocoa powder and whip until firm peaks hold.

*Mix the chopped cookies and mini marshmallows into the ice cream, then fold in the whipped cream and pour into the crust.

*Decorate with the chocolate shavings and marshmallow halves. Freeze for an hour before serving. Store leftovers, covered, in the freezer.
