Lucky Dip  (cut-out poem)

with

watch time

by
savouring
fresh
quality
fruit & veg
followed
by 
stuffed pork rolls
and
mousse dessert
with
dark
exquisite sweetness
for
demanding palates
where
quality costs less
sweet luxury
surprises
for
lovers 
of
strong
delicate 
flavours.

Paul This is an interesting and "yummy" write. But I would share the goodies with the puppies. LOL Thank you for the great comment on my My Past poem.

I'm guessing you chopped the words from a cookery book or something, but those cuddly puppies threw me a bit! nevertheless, it's probably the most straightforward one I've read! congrats on your win in my contest :)

Hi Charlotte! This was my 1st attempt at cut-up poems. The chopped words/phrases came from junk mail that I receive daily in huge amounts...that's why food etc got mixed with puppies:) Thank you for giving me the chance to experiment; looking forward to your next contest! // paul

Don't ask me how! I just had a go at it...out of curiosity and what you see is the result of recycled unwanted mail :) I will have another go though, because there's more in it than I thought. cu // paul

- I saw a program on television yesterday - a lady who found her own meals in the trash - really amazing and quite great food - she made feasts to her friends of this food - a shame how much food we threw in the trash. - Thank you for your visit on my last poem, really appreciate your visit. - oxox // Anne-Lise :)

Hi Anne Lise. How did you hit so near to what I had in mind!? That's why I called it "Lucky Dip". Thanks for stopping by and commenting. :) /x/ paul
