  • hope you’re hungry haiku

    #winsh 40. Write 12 haiku about food.  It’s ridiculously hard to write 12 haiku.  Just saying.

     

    globules of sugar
    encrusted in more sugar
    I love jelly beans

    fluffy crepes stuffed with
    creamy homemade ricotta
    ohman! icotti

    layers and layers
    of light pastry dripping sweet
    gods brought baklava

    my snickerdoodles
    tasty bricks could break your teeth
    why the heck is that?

    tsatziki is hard
    to spell but so delicious
    a creamy heaven

    kale makes my bread green
    I don’t know why I want green
    bread- but it’s mmm good.

    fresh cream in blender
    when whipped into a frenzy
    splatters everywhere

    I adore coffee
    that caffeinated liquid
    I’m not a camel?

    marinated beef
    succulent on my palate
    that was a good cow

    stringy celery
    tastes like green soggy cardboard
    nope, I won’t eat it

    best part of August
    is juicy corn on the cob
    typewriter chewing

    an apple a day
    may keep the doctor away
    and I like the crunch


    LLO treated her parents to dinner at the local greek restaurant, clever called The Greek, last night.  She wanted dessert, but we were as stuffed as the dolmades.  Hence the baklava quest for today.  I’m not so good with the papery pastry, but I’m really good with nuts and syrup.  To celebrate her return from the land of grandparents, we had manicotti tonight- her second favorite food.  We’ve been well fed in the land of sunshine.  And tomorrow LLO and I have to go back to school.  That kinda bites.  Only two days to the weekend.
