Sweet Relish

Behave so the aroma of your actions may enhance the general sweetness of the atmosphere. - Thoreau

days stacked like flapjacks

spent time bragging of sweetness

no maple syrup

Author's Note

"Some poems are for holidays only. They are polished and sweet, but it is the sweetness of sugar, and not such as toil gives to sour bread. The breath with which the poet utters his verse must be that by which he lives." - Thoreau
