Shrove Tuesday: A Poem
Celebrating Pancake Day
Pancake Day is a time of delight,
When we flip and toss with all our might,
With syrup, butter, and fruit in sight,
We savour every fluffy bite.
*
Some make theirs thin, some make them thick,
Some use a recipe, some just pick,
But one thing's for sure, we love the thrill,
Of eating pancakes till we feel ill.
*
So let's gather round and have some fun,
We'll eat until the morning sun,
And when our bellies weigh a ton,
We'll know Pancake Day was well done!

We'z Walking on a Path Ruled By Numbers
This road has felt endless, yet limited; every step tracked. Inching away along this path, I feel trapped. Confined. Left to this narrow passage that may one day amount to something greater. Time is not a concept. Only distance. From start to finish, I laugh and cry and attempt to convince myself that this is worth it. I cannot stray. I must keep going. Every step etched, is a step taken, is measured as more than before. I cannot even recall how I got here. Maybe I don’t even really exist. Just another tick marking off a perceived presence. Of what though? I am just another line drawn. Nothing more, nothing less.
