I have two syllabic poems for this prompt, a tanka and a shadorma.
Infinite reward
Nine months of waiting
As parenthood draws closer
It’s impact unknown
Unexpected intense love
Exceeds anything you’ve known
Infinite bloodlines
Tiny face
Nestled deep inside blankets
Amazing
Creation
Our blood lines now infinite
Succession assured
Snap! Crackle! Pop!
Cee’s CFFC prompt this week is Kellogg’s Rice Krispies – Snap! Crackle! Pop! You can join in here:
Here are two of my fondant and cake artwork creations that use Rice Krispies: https://ceenphotography.com/2023/09/19/cffc-kelloggs-rice-krispies-snap-crackle-pop/


Finally, the licorice trolls chocolate log fire goes ‘snap! crackle! and pop!

Robbie, there must be a word for a post that combines great poetry and great food art. “Versevictualization”? 🙂

I know you wanted to make a fire but when I first saw it I thought It was a volcano erupting!
You erupt with creativity Robbie!

That’s great. It makes it fun when the kids like them.
My grandkids don’t have a sweet tooth. That’s how my daughter trained them. Probably it’s good for them. My blood sugar is getting high. I must be careful because my mom had advanced diabetes to a point that the sores didn’t heal.

My grandkids used to ask me for gummy worms and fruit strips. A few weeks ago, they couldn’t finish half of the fruit strip. Now both girls said they didn’t like chocolate. It may change but it’s good for now.

I love how “unknown” and “known” play off of one another in the first poem, Robbie… Excellent.
It’s interesting, I never thought of our bloodlines as infinite – they could be stopped at any given generation… no?

Given what we know about genetics and DNA, our bloodlines are very interwoven so direct descendent aren’t necessary. That said, I do take your point but that’s not how new parents feel 💚🌻
