  I THOUGH NUTS WERE HARD TO CRACK.

  A HARD COOKIE TO CRACK

  
  Whatever Happen

  To My Cookie
  
  That was also Sweet?.
  
  
  Did I Leave it

  To Long
  
  Let it Become

  UN sweet?
  
  
  What was Holding

  My Cookie
  
  That Changed its Taste?.
  
  
  What Container

  Did I Use
  
  That Should have

  Kept it Sweet?
  
  
  What was in or Wasn’t
  
  That was

  Suppose To Be?
  
  
  Who Took The Cookie

  From The Jar
  
  Placed it

  On The Shelve.
  
  
  Let it Lose

  All its Flavor
  
  Making it

  Hard as Nails.
  
  
  What a Cookie

  It would Be
  
  If I Could

  Crack it Up
  
  Making it Soft Again .
  
  
  Making it know

  It Can be Sweet
  
  If it finds Itself a Jar
  
  Not Staying

  On a Shelve.
  
  
  What a Treat

  To Know
  
  It is There

  Fresh as The Flower.
  
  
  Not Hard as Nails
  
  What A Hammer

  I would Use
  
  To Crack

  A Cookie Open.
  
  
  To See what is There
  
  Knowing

  What made it Hard.
  
  
  Next Time
  
  I’ll put You

  In a Heart
  
  A Cookie of a Jar.

  I Much Rather Have A Cookie
  That is Moist and Tender
  it May Fall Apart But Also Sweet
  Rather Than A Hard and Brittle
  Where its Crumbs Beneath My Feet
  If This is Hard
  Than You’ll Know How Hard it is.

  FOR ONE JUST MADE
  YOU ARE ALL TOO HARD

  ONE COOKIE BITTERSWEET

  
  If I Used A Cup Of Tea
  Would You Soften Up For Me
  
  If I Used Care
  Would You Stay As Sweet
  
  If I Used Flower
  Would You Grind Me To The Floor
  
  If I Used Starch
  Would You Stiffen Up On Me
  
  If I Used Gluten
  Would You Stick Me On The Wall
  
  If I Used Butter
  Would You Fall Away From Me
  
  If I Used Sugar
  Would You Sweeten Up At All
  
  If I Used Water
  Would You Feel Any Softer
  
  If I Used Yeast
  Would You Raise Me To The Ceiling
  
  If I Used Salt
  Would That Make You All The More
  
  If I Used Pepper
  Would You Sneeze Me To Beyond
  
  God Bless You
  Thank You I am Here Already
  
  If I Used Eggs
  Would You Scramble Me Instead
  
  What A Mix That Would Be
  Maybe That’s The Key?
  
  If I Gave You All I Have
  Would You Make A Better Cookie?
  
  If You Gave All You Have
  Than What A Cookie You Would Be
  
  Also Sweet and None Too Soft
  A Kind Anyone Would Love To Have.
  
  A Poeatreeman
  
  What Fills You Up
  Will Pour From You
  What Taste You’ll Have
  May Be Hard To Swallow
  Your Cookie Your Treat
  I Don’t Have To Bite Into it
  I Like To Know its Sweet
  One Cookie Hard To Swallow
  Take it With Some Care
  Understand What’s There
  Dip it in A Tear
  To Soften What’s Inside
  Knowing it Can Be
  All You Thought it Was.
