Sonnet the first

No, I'm not doing these in comment order, it's in inspiration order. And no, I did not promise Art. Just format.


The muffin is a simple, homely food
Of butter, sugar, eggs, some milk, some flour.
Poured in their pan to bake, a merry brood,
The effort all entire won't take an hour.

And yet their making speaks of love and care
Of nurture and devotion through a meal.
They stand, when made to give away or share,
Unspoken tasty signs of love that's real.

Oh sure, a baking could be all for me,
Those fluffy tops, that faintly steaming scent,
A hoarded batch to munch alone with glee -
And yet that rarely stands as my intent.

And though my love for chocolate I've confessed,
I know blueberry's what my love likes best.
