This is Poetry Month! I believe poetry should be read and relished: it encourages appetite, feeds the soul, nourishes the mind, relaxes the body. The actual food is almost, almost, secondary …
quatrains with French toast
sprinkled with random rhyme
begin the poetic day
stirring digestive processes
to create succulent verse
for lunch: sonnet soup
with crusty sliced ghazal
then dream of dining on epic pizza
canzonet with pasta
or haiku with tomato salad
while editing triolets of herbal tea
and licking ecstasies of ode
until the final relished taste –
a box of lyrics savoured in bed
Those Blue Shoes for ages 7-11 … Weston’s … skill in juggling time past with time present … the plot unfolds with fast-paced action, mystery, suspense and even a ghost. Joan Givner
Leaves me hungering for more words.
A chocolate-a-day equals a poem-a-day, medicine for the soul.
Mmmmm . .chocolates and delicious poetry
Safe journey
A chocolate-a-day equals a poem-a-day! Looks like you’re having fun, olives and grapes, great combination.
