#Inktober2019: Wild

              Wild About

I am wild about white chocolate scones

or cupcakes holding up mounds of frosting

I am wild about paninis stacked with turkey,

thin cheese slices and all manner of accouterments 

Raspberry chocolate- chip yogurt ice cream

in a cup with an inverted sugar cone placed

at a jaunty angle makes any afternoon celebratory

I am wild about cracking unsalted pistachios 

while working on a Times crossword puzzle

If I am  saying ,”this is the last time” I’m

probably opening up a package of chips

I am wild about chocolate covered apricots,

blueberries and slivers of ginger

I am wild about free food samples and thumb size

samples of white wine at a tasting

And I am in love with brunch buffets and potluck dinners

I am wild about dishes prepared by someone else
