A Recipe for a human
by marja blom
Take the fruit of evolution
Sift out the intelligence, make it into a solution
Stir in a bowl a spoon of fear taken from a memory
a cup of happiness extracted from a melody
a pinch of C'est la vie
Pour a billion words in a blender
till you get a social stew
Spread it on a layer of gender
Add the mixture from the bowl
Heat it in the oven of life
Garnish with a purpose and a soul
Add some creativity and fantasy
Take it with love and sensitivity
and a sprinkle of forgive ity
which guarantees longevity

Nostalgic Human"
Loved that. Marvellous.
ReplyDeleteLovely recipe, particularly 'a pinch of C'est la vie'
ReplyDeleteGreat way of creating a human being, Marja!
ReplyDeleteThanks for your visit. How sad that the soldiers died in the Battle of Arnhem. This was a miscalculation of General McArthur.
you can come and bake in our oven any time. I would like a whole batch of "forgive ity". what a great take on an interesting prompt
ReplyDeleteMuch nicer than "puppy-dog tails". Well conceived and written.
ReplyDeleteAww. That was a cute poem! I like that you chose to shake it up and get creative with a 'recipe'!
ReplyDeleteWow! So very creative. Bravo!
ReplyDeleteHoi Marja

ReplyDeleteforgive ity - love it! We all need more of it!
ReplyDeleteLovely recipe
ReplyDeleteThank you for the lovely poem, enjoyed reading it.
ReplyDeleteThanks Marja! Yes we had a heatwave until yesterday, when we were surprised by an enormous thunderstorm with strong wind and lots of rain, which was so suddenly, that the sewers couldn't work well at first and the water came out of the toilets. Fortunately it didn't last long. The garden was full of broken branches and leaves.
ReplyDeleteAnyway I wish you a great week, Marja!
Lovely poem! Particularly like "forgive ity"
ReplyDeleteLOVE the poem. Fabulous. I'm writing this one down (giving you credit of course). Keep 'em coming!
