Bounty

At times it happens hurriedly
a banquet in a blur,
sometimes it’s served up sloppily
and spillage will occur;
when it trickles tantalizingly
a tidbit at a time
you aspire agonizingly
to bag that tasty rhyme.

Delicious! Can I get that to go?

I like the way you combine your love of cooking with your love of words.

Have to agree with Shirley, Bob. Thought the poem was going to center around resturant/catering business. Suppose serving up a dinner and serving up a meal for the mind are more closely related than we think...I hate it when all I have to serve are leftovers. Nice work!

Hey gerald, thanks, stay hungry!

Hey Shirley, a recipe for success?

Hi Dan, couldn't help myself.

Why not? Cooking poetically. I can see you now on public television reciting "The Celery Stalker" while chopping away! Talk about food for thought... ;)
