Fods of Suumer

I thought I should pen-about hot dogs. That steaming fragrance...ahhhh.. Add some relish and onions. Or ketchup, maybe mustard ? All beef hot dogs send me. Chicago had the tastiest! Memories of Midwest girlhood days. I bet you have hot dog memories, too. 10/10/2021

I am always up for a good foodie poem. Though not a huge fan of hotdogs, I sure did like them around a campfire, rather burned and with good old catsup and mustard. ALL BEEF. (kosher, not cow guts. haha)

Hello pangie - This entry was light with a good feel to it - Yes, hot dogs do have a fragrance. Many memories come to mind of cooking on the grill or beach days. Have a wonderful day. Thank you for sharing something we can all relate to.

Lisa...important point you brought up.. " something we can all relate to ". I just did it out of the clear Bue sky. I am not a free verser. Forms lock me in, in a good way, keeps the mind from having liquid brain. It Keeps my thoughts in line. Otherwise, I am lost. Poetry is an art form and a discipline. Many forms not even listed at PS. Thank you, Lisa! Pangie

You remind me of an old beer hall song sung in bars in chicago as follows.))) My country tis of thee, I come from Germany. My name is Fritz, Pass me the sauer don't leave the bratwurst out. Give me a stein of beer and and I'll stay here! Pangie Pangie
