Notes About The Poem

(Entry for A Foodie Pleiades Poetry Contest, sponsored by Andrea Dietrich, submitted April 18, 2025)

Lasagna!

Layers of meat and cheese,
Lined with flat, thin pasta,
Looking, smelling, tasting
Like it's heaven-sent, I
Love the savoury tang,
Letting the sauce and spice
Linger on my taste buds.

Cor… lasagne, my choice of topic was cheese…. But I do love lasagne…. Smothered with melted grated cheese. Drooling congratulations on your win, Jim. Terry

Terry, I think we can both agree that cheese is a major food group! Thank you for your kind words. Take care.
