What is this thing that overtakes our soul
They call it love, a very strange casserole
Ingredients are passion
Mixed with phantasm
Known to us all as through life we cajole

Believe it or not once walked into a pole
Distracted by wee shorts my attention she stole
Short shorts quite tight
Sure'd like a bite

Thank you to Marilee Mansfield, whose marvelous metaphor for divorce inspired me to write this poem.

You left
Just for a little while,
And when you came back
We tried to take up just where we had been,

And I...

Rice born of the land so free,
Baked complete with love,
Delectable meal,
Just alone,
Eat!...

Would ketchup have added to it? Did it need onions?
Would Heinz 57 have saved it or at least made it better?
I smiled at my hostess,...

When we were first married we had casserole surprise on Fridays.
This was the day I combined all the left overs.
Sometimes it was tasty.
Other times not so great.
I figured if you added egg and made it into a loaf, it would be okay.
I figured wrong....

Casserole, beggar’s stew. Surprise
All three of these words cause my husband to cringe.
When we were first married I put everything we ate into the pot on Friday.
All the sweet and sour fixings from the week – corn, radishes, brown sugar.
It mattered not, it went into...

I have a craving for cheese
Milky smooth and oozy;
Hot and melty, buttery
Cheese sauce smothering
My broccoli wood
It’s cheesy 
Joy....

And permanent smile....
