What Demands Such Concentration?
What Demands Such Concentration?
What demands such concentration
that the seagull walks with its head
down, eyes focused on the ground?
It makes its morning check of the
inventory--what the tide brought in
and what it washed away.
The bird scours the shoreline and
steps past polished stones and
shattered shells. When it stops,
it picks up the remnants it likes best--
the ones it can digest.
The prompt for this poem was to start a poem with a line from one of the other poems you had written for the PAD challenge. I used a line from Portrait of a Goose Swimming.

Anticipation
.jpg)
I think most of us experience anticipation related to certain foods or meals. Certainly children look forward to Halloween candy or birthday cake, especially their own. In Kansas City, I look forward to going out for barbecue. When I visit my hometown of Buffalo, N.Y., I can't wait to have chicken wings or beef on 'weck.
During my childhood, especially, I looked forward to the time when my Mother would start baking Christmas cookies. When I was very young, I helped by taste-testing the fruits and nuts that would be used in the various recipes. I also tested the dough because we didn't know then that you shouldn't eat it before it is baked. Of course, the best part was just spending time with my Mom or my Mom and my sister.
I still make two of the cookies at Christmas. I don't feel the same anticipation now that I bake them myself. However, I know that the people I share them with look forward to getting them each year. For that, I am very grateful.
Are there any foods that you always look forward to having?

Apricot Filling
Apricot Filling
When Mom made
the koclaczki at Christmas,
the apricot filling
was made from
canned pie filling and jam.
Then one year,
she made the filling from
dried apricots cooked down.
I never asked why
she made the change.
Maybe dried apricots
became more affordable
or more accessible.
Now when I make
the cookies at Christmas,
I don't use pie filling
and I don't use jam.
I only use
dried apricots cooked down.
Oh, and a little lemon juice.
