Yum! Yum!

 

Quadrille Monday in the Pub ~ Lillian has tossed us the word figment to include in our poems!




Figgy pudding, sweet delight, merely a figment, out of sight

In my mind, it sits and steams, dripping figs and creamy dreams

Reality, it will not breach, and far beyond my longing's reach

A sugary specter, just for me, sweet figment of my fantasy

    I never related "figment" to figs or food before today. Looks like poets have sweets on the brain. 😋

    I didn't know there was such a thing as fig pudding, it would be a figment nightmare for me. I do like fig newton bars.

      The horse did kick me, I was trying to bring her up out of the pasture. I've had two back surgeries, never thought blaming them on the horse.

    Now I want a figgy pudding, I experienced this as a metaphor for fantasy - things just out of reach.
