I’m participating in the #BarAThon – a blogging Challenge which involves blogging on alternate days from Jun 17 – Jun 30, 2017. For each of the seven days, bloggers are free to choose either a theme or one of the several prompts or both.
For Day 2, I have chosen the prompt – ‘life of pie.’
Life Of Pie
A crusty top and a filling within,
With apple, cheese, or steak-and-kidney,
Mince-pies, pot-pies and creamy ones,
That melt in the mouth
Before you’re done.
Cream-filled or topped ones, or bacon and eggs,
Which would you go for? Think fast and say.
Though the life of a pie is meant to last long,
You’d better off having them
before they’re all gone.

great post!
Thank you!
Beautifully written Esha. I need one now.
Thank you Vasantha! Why wait, grab the pie right away 😃
This is an amazing and yummy post 🙂
Thank you Anchal 🙂
The poem should come with a disclaimer: the content may induce copious amounts of drool, and orgasmic sounds leading to public embaressment……. 😉
Hahah…well said, Shalini! I didn’t take that into account while posting, did I? 😀
Lovely and melodious. I can make a song out of it 🙂
(Don’t take me seriously for the 2nd part.) Pies are a sin for me until I reach my goal.
A song out of that sounds lovely! I wouldn’t wish to tempt you in any way, knowing how hard you’re striving towards your goal. Maybe once you’ve reached, you could go for one…just as a reward! :))
🙂
I’d like to have the cream filled apple pie please. 😀
A lovely expression and it has made me crave for one now!!
Thank you Shilpa. I’d say if you’re really in the mood for one, have a go! Remember Oscar Wilde said, “Resist anything but temptation.”!
This has got me dreaming about biting into a sweet warm pie. So deliciously written 😉
Thank you very much, Vanessa. Don’t just dream, go for it, I say! 🙂
The pie looks delicious!
Thank you Neha!
Damn!! That pic is so tempting… and the poem is like a warning to me not to look away but attack that pie!
Go for it, Roshan. Why wait for tomorrow? Carpe Diem, remember? 🙂
Now I’m so hungry and I’m fasting 😜
Oh no! Hold on Zainab…a few more days and then you can tuck into one! 🙂
Yummm….mouth-watering description Esha! Indeed a Pie’s life is short-lived 😉
You said it, Kala! All my imagination played into my words…!
Cream filled pie for me please .Loved your take on the prompt .Literal meaning and so very delicious !
Thanks for the appreciation, Amrita. That cream-filled one is all yours btw. 🙂
This is good.
Life of pie intelligently incorporated.
I’m craving for some pie now 🙂
Thanks Nabanita. I used it in a very literal sense here. Hmmm pies are so yummy…don’t blame you at all for craving them. 🙂
Funny and enjoyable poem 😋😋
Thanks dear 😀 😀
You made me crave for the one Esha. I never had a pie.
Oh, did I? I take it as a compliment then, Upasna. You must try one sometime. So yummy really! 🙂
