Cheryl Hayden Poet Acrostic

Lasagna

Lasting impressions will be made tonight of food and man
A secret ingredient is part of the pleasure I presume
Same as secrets of the one across from me
A first date - he was late, but quickly pardoned
Given the two glasses of wine I enjoyed while waiting
Not many others around, the awkwardness ascends
As I decide, within lasagna's savory sauce - it's cinnamon!

Kim Rodrigues August 12, 2026 at 5:54 AM Enjoyed your first poem, Cheryl! On a first date, he was late..I knew one lady who would not pardon that mistake…said life was too short..you see both her Blue Angel husband and a couple years later, her young son died. Her husband in flight, son from heart virus. Circumstances can dictate one’s tolerance. Fave for this poem!
