Selin - Poem #2: A Love Potion of Sorts

The secret is brown sugar

The handmade kind -

White sugar mixed

With carob molasses,

A drop of vanilla

And, a pinch of positivity.

Smiles spread through the class

At the sight of the cookies.

“I’m on a diet”, says one girl,

Grabbing one, then two, then four

“I’m gluten intolerant,” says another,

Downing three in a bite.

Soon the tray is empty,

And they're still smiling.
