Feasting On Poetry Ultimate Delicacy

Today’s poem is a juicy pork chop
The next one that skates by is a foppish cod fish
Each delicacy and dessert separate in their own way
Living their own truths.

Yesterday’s poems were chocked with
Faeries and dainty crisp white daisies
I have less control of this than of myself
They prance to their own harps

All I know is if I do not capture it
When it flits by in its gliding pretty pattern
it has no motivation to return.
I have yet to retrieve a wild missive
Which I neglected to pay attention to yesterday

Thank you Harry; I am an Iowa corn-beef-fed woman. When I get hungry food jumps all over a page.

The first line pranced up and laugh and we were off.

So true, Caren! Poetry is a feast for the hungry heart and the famished soul! I noticed you often use food imagery - delicious! And, I think all of us can relate to that "wisp" of an idea running away from us if we don't catch when it makes an appearance! Enjoyed. Be blessed!

It's happened to me many times, Karen. But I've learned to jot down a good idea fresh in mind. I share your sentiments on most operas – not only are many mawkishly sentimental, they also depict to beautiful music most of human nature's worse traits! The longest is Wagner's monumental Ring of the Niebelungen – almost 5 days. Thanks for the stop. / M
