Andrea Dietrich Poet Verse

Notes About The Poem

Onion

Oh, onion, pungent is your trait!

Over everything, you add zing.

On the cheeseburger on my plate

Or fried up as a crispy ring,

Only you, sweet bulb onion, can -

Of all veggies - make me cry! An

Ode for you, my dear; you are great!

Reason A. Poteet June 23, 2018 at 11:13 AM Congrats on your onion piece, Andrea, most interesting. My personal favorite is the onion ring. You covered all the bases but the artistic one, the volcano often built by Japanese teppanyaki chefs in their "performance" cooking.

Darlene De Beaulieu June 14, 2018 at 1:49 PM Hello Andrea, onions always made me cry. They still do. Have a nice day my friend.

Robert Johnson June 13, 2018 at 10:53 PM Please forgive where the rhyming took me. I am not violent and if I ever did something like that it would be something I would forever be ashamed of.

Robert Johnson June 13, 2018 at 10:49 PM An ode to an onion exclaims pro's and cons. They enhance cooking meats and add flavor to fonds. But kiss me right after you've eaten one raw. I very well may hit you right in the jaw.

Caren Krutsinger June 13, 2018 at 1:21 AM Yum yum! I put onions in so many dishes, it makes my children crazy. A beautiful tribute to an onion!

Carole Duet June 12, 2018 at 8:50 PM This reminds me of the old song, "I Love Onions". And, I love onions too! Very entertaining and even nutritious! :D

Marc Acrich June 12, 2018 at 12:45 PM What a big coincidence, I just bought a whole bag of sweet onions, I was in Hawaii once, you will never taste such sweet  onions as there

Supraja Kannan June 12, 2018 at 4:54 AM Oh, Andrea. This is such a cute ode. I loved it. No doubt, a winning entry.
