POEMS: Syrup and Sugar, and Sugar

March 11, 2013 · Scotorum

These Acrostics were written for the CPC Friday Fling poetry challenge, where maple sugar time and anything sweet is the theme.

SYRUP AND SUGAR

S hove the taps into the trees
Y ielding sap flows free
R ippling into metal buckets
U ntil, at nightfall, they are collected and
P oured into the evaporator.

A nother batch of maple sap
N eeds to be boiled
D own to

S yrup
U nder close inspection,
G aining density
A nd sweetness until it is
R eady to pour on pancakes.
