Cookies

I am far too
Fond of a few
Cookies with a
Cup of hot tea so
I abstain from my
Favorite cookie
Shortbread
Maybe
With
Almond
No glaze
Just the bit
Of shortbread
Cookies with my
Tea and milk sweet
Each bite a delight to
Savor like every day week
Year decade to taste the
Crunch of time and a
Sip of hot tea better
Shared with some
Friend enjoying
The forbidden
Secret delight
Reveling in a
Cookie on
An after
Noon
Snack
Shared
Unhurried
I hold out my
Cookie slowly
To her lips as she
Takes a bite enjoys
Then offers me hers to
Nibble something about
Glad we got our cookies.
How long has it been
Since you shared a
Cookie? Well ...
That’s too
Long.
