A sap should be sticky,
Pine honey oozing down vanilla bark
Weeping tears down wounded trunks
Saturated wood starting fires
A sap should need tissues for Hallmark movies
Mean every kind word
Write handwritten letters
Save corks from wine memories
But ASAP is now
5 minutes ago
Get a move on, airman,
You’re like molasses in January
I enjoyed reading this piece. The Hallmark movies threw me off though. I wasn’t expecting it. Lovely!

Oh it’s sappy to like Hallmark movies, and it course I end up watching them when my mom has them on…..😊

I love the phrase “like molasses in January” – I usually say winter is here when you tilt the Nutella jar and nothing moves, so I find it very effective. And it’s a great way of closing your play on a (sticky) sap and ASAP. Lovely, really enjoyed reading it!
