Blizzard Chicken Pie

 Wake up this morningtaste buds explodingFor the pie of all pies Get up go out to eatparking lot covered inIce and snow, not quite knee deep Drive carefully out onto the main roadBlizzard falling cold as icehard to see, in front of me As he drives the main roadhand reaches for his coffee cupLeft from the day before He take’s a sip, but the coffeehas frozen deep into one solid lumpWe, laugh so Yesterday we drove to the nearest placeFor double cheese burgers we had a fewNot quite the same as the chicken pie But today we need something hot and tasty.So today we travel furtherAs our mouths salivate We get to our designationPark up, we get out of the truck gingerlyAs ice and snow covers the parking lot. In we go and wait in the queue –Praying that - there is still a pie for usWe get to the front of the queue and findThere are two scrumptious chicken pies left We get into the truck blizzard coming downPeople getting fast food and then going backMy king knows how to treat his queenWith this wondrous blizzard picnic 
Before us our table laid upon our kneesWe, have our utensils napkins and drinkWe open the box and just stare at what is thereFeeling the heat. Dreaming of this dayTo have our scrumptious feastWe look at each other and smileBefore we start to eat. We dig deep into the fine golden pastry crustTo take our first mouthful. Crust broken steam risesMmmm it smells great, tastes great. As we partake of this heavenly feastOutside it is getting bleakWe sit until the last crumbCannot escape our lips Taste buds still exploding as we savoureach morsel passing between our lipsThis dream continuesOur chicken feast  Is this chicken heaven?

The thought of this lovely pie...

Oh Maggie you bad girl. I can't eat pastry, pies, bridies etc; ...too much fat & calories for my old body...now you've awakened my memory of how, pie, chips & beans used to be my favorite dinner when I was younger and could burn energy. Still my resistence is not futile, I have will-power...I have will-power, I really do? Rosina xena465

I can tell that...

judging by your great figure you don't eat pies as a regular meal. We can only but dream the savours of the foods that are forbidden. I eat a lot of white meat and pretend that it's a mince pie or a spicy mince pizza. Or, if I could only afford it, a big juice Fillet steak. Love to you friend. Rosina xena465

Rosina Thank You. Well I was tempted by this pie and the company too. Well I am told that I am size 0. I never have gone a diet. I do not have a big appitite but there are many who want to feed me up all the time. I am not big on meat. I eat when I am hungry. I prefer a Baked potato and veg or oatmeal etc. Only what I need and not for the sake of eating. I do not eat much bread - very little or pastries. I do not drink tea coffee or alcohol or smoke.

You lucky thing...

I love bread, red meat & white meat (got to be lean) I don't eat much fat, sugary things, cakes choc etc; I'm not working, so I gain weight easily. I'm on Incapacity Benefit due to depression, drinking and low self-esteem, as you know some of the reasons, I can't function properly in the real world so my only exercise is walking, when I need to go outside. I'm so much better now that I have my poetry mind back. And being able to share with other poets like yourself, has helped me tremendously. I stopped writing poetry when Catherine, my sister died 5 years ago. The only poetic thoughts in my mind after that were of Catherine. I wrote several poems about her and that was the last time I wrote a poems. The ones I'm posting are old ones that I've improved, thanks to Neopoet workshop and the friends I've met through Neopoet. In time, I'll get my old self back, I'm 50% there, compared to 2 months ago when I was at a very low ebb, and the loss of my wee pet rat Xena, just tipped me over the edge. But I'm in the fight and winning. Thanks my friend, Maggie, for helping me more than you know. Rosina xena465

Rosina Well my dear friend. I am here anytime to listen or anything else! I know many of the reasons people do use food as the only comfort zone the only control you have as depression limits you as with the Drinking this too I know to block out horrors that haunt people. But you are making giant strides and your writing is a dicipline too. You are gaining control at last slowly. So it helps you use you mind and make's you stonger. So my friend just take one step in front of the other at your own pace. Of course you may take three steps forward and two back but that will change in time at your own pace when you feel you are ready. Low-esteem I know of this the feeling of being invisible - useless - not wanted unloved - being rejected and thrown away etc. But for me my councel my strength is gained from my writing music and art. I have a dream and hold onto it. Find your dream Always Electric Blue magz

As always...

you're a comfort to me. I know drinking doesn't solve problem, just masks it. I have cut down from spirits to cider, a big step believe me. So with a little help from my brother and my poetry, I'm getting better. I smoke too, since I was 10 years old. I'll never give up that, I know. I'll never give up drinking either but I do, and am, cutting down on that, as you know it feeds the depression and has disastrous results, talking from experience. Thanks again for taking time to help me. I think you may like my poem that I posted yesterday, `Someone Like Me`. It's had some really nice feedback and has given my confidence a massive boost. Stay as nice as you are. My friend, your friend. Thanks Magz Rosina xena465
