soybeans are not that wonderful to eat; but I am glad you wrote this one because it made me think maybe I never had them prepared in the right manner

I like this poem, and actually had a Thanksgiving, where the turkey serve was not meat. Tofu, I think, my idea at the time.

Your tankas never disappoint, Kim. Can't wait to sink my temporary bridge into some soybean turkey. It'll taste better than those iimpressions they used to give me at the dentist's office! Then again, gw

Your poem is delicious as the menu it depicts, Kim. Images well evoked--I see the display gracing Thanksgiving.
