gather the weekday's leftovers
(dish with clovers)
here's the pan
we have no plan
to tarry this rib of cured meat
turn up the heat
with seasoned salt
veggies will waltz
with red onions, shrimps & noodles
we'll make doodles
here, there; let's eat
leisurely beat

ReplyDeleteOkay - so I want to be in your kitchen for lessons! This is lovely and it makes me really wish I knew how to sizzle things up in the kitchen. My whole family makes fun of me for my efforts - creative and imaginative, but often horrific flops! I'm still learning. I love your poem and the prompt!
ReplyDelete"here's the pan/we have no plan.." Story of my life. this is a graceful(no pun intended) and even elegant little poem of common life, such as Neruda might write. Enjoyed it much.
