A Villanelle of the Perfect Treat in a Bowl

Açai with granola and fruit, 

as silky as a stream down low.  

A perfect treat to escape the brute. 

 

The spoon always arrives at my mouth– that’s its route! 

Atop the poised bowl is the beloved honey, drizzled aglow.

Açai with granola and fruit. 

 

Comforted by my chair, wrapped in dreams resolute.

Chilled and fresh, each bite is like woah!

A perfect treat to escape the brute. 

 

With each spoonful I feel an energy reboot,

flavors gliding like a sled in packed snow.

Açai with granola and fruit.

 

I feel as if I’m on top of a butte.

I savor– I can sense the feeling grow! 

A perfect treat to escape the brute. 

 

The enjoyment that fills this bowl really isn’t minute.

And once I eat it, I begin to find my flow and take life slow. 

Açai with granola and fruit,

A perfect treat to escape the brute!
