Pancake of my soul

A poetic recipe for making the perfectly disguised pancake

By Shivani ParekhPublished 3 years ago • 1 min read

Pancake of my soul

I was hungry one day.

Hungry for happiness to stay.

So I decided to make a pancake,

Out of everything that was left.

Cup full of tears,

Half a cup of smiles,

Quarter cup of hope,

And it took no time.

But for the secret,

To a perfect pancake,

I took a pinch from

The box of acceptance.

Mixed it all well

With the spoon of self-care.

Poured into the hot pan

Made of perseverance.

Flipped it over

And put off the stove.

Here, I serve you,

The Pancake of my soul.

-Sunshine (Shivani Parekh)
