This is not a cookie
but a sesame dream
who opens to Scheherazade’s
caves within caves
where ends are beginnings
and dreams are sweeter than rain,
and you reach for the jar
grab a cookie again,
devouring delusions of dreams
until the cookies are gone.
Today we write Object poetry with Mish at dVerse.

Oh I would definitely devour the whole jar! Sweet dreams indeed 😊
Oh, I think this is rather dark….
A cookie that takes you into an alternate world of dreams, it seems. Licorice and sesame….such an interesting combination.
The taste of mixing sesame and licorice was my own invention…
“devouring delusions of dreams” is so intriguing a concept. Maybe one root of eating addictions? Never thought of licorice and sesame seeds as a combo for a cook. Imagining they taste like gingersnaps…
cook = cookie
I like this one a lot, Bjorn. “…dreams are sweeter than rain.” Brilliant!
Holy wow, that looks good.
“who opens to Scheherazade’s

How gorgeous.
You did it brother, you rocked the prompt as I knew you would. An interesting (albeit difficult) prompt. “dreams sweeter than rain”…wowzer.
Scheherazade’s cave within caves, where the dreams are sweet as rain. Have another sesame dream!

I’ll have one of those dreamy cookies, with my tea! This is an exploration I know I’d enjoy … caves are magic.
Nice, B! Also, I have never heard of this cookie flavor, but now have a hankering for one. 😉
I basically used a normal shortbread recipe and used sesame seeds and licorice powder as taste… Very interesting taste…. where the licorice is very subtle and come in the end.
This cookie sounds like a jar of poetry to me!
I must surrender to the ineffable truth of this rhapsody. A truly mouth-watering piece of confection sweeps me into a dreamy state as well. Alas, a temporary one.
You know, I don’t know why, but I love that you used an object that’s temporary – that is somehow counterintuitive for me… and it worked so darn’d well!
I love this poem 🙂

Ouch. Slight unease here.
I know that regret…(K)
Well done (you, not the cookie). 🙂
The cookie sounds good… I like licorice and sesame seeds and Scheherazade was one smart cookie.
a seductive munch time so poetically depicted with dreams, longing and caves … what could beat that! Can I have two jars please?
