Best Dine Poems


Come Dine With Me

My imaginary resturant is painted sky blue.
Please enter, let me entertain you.

There is soft music playing.
The kind I hope will get you swaying.

Each table has an ocean view.
Never booked out, always a few.

Smiling faces take your order.
The menu will include fresh lobster.

The house wines are oh so mellow.
Poured by a very handsome fellow.

The chef is Italian and sings as he cooks.
He has written a wonderful cookery book.

Wholesome goodness served with flair.
New dishes to try if you dare.

Delectable delights of delicious tarts.
Easy conversation before you part.

Linger over fresh ground coffee.
On paying the bill, offered a toffee.

How soon can we all dine again?
Let's meet you here next week my friends.

Premium Member Why the Porcupine Cannot Dine With the Queen

Pity the poor porcupine
  on what kind of chair can it dine

It cannot sit on its rear end
  for its quills will not bend

And if it stands on its head
  it will surely be dead


Two full glasses

A full glass of red wine,
each time I choose to dine.
It always makes me feel fine,
as if I need it to always shine.
In my body, it builds a shrine:
it's my own sacred lifeline.
I got it from a grapevine,
A bond I entwine,
as now mine:
online
in line,
It's divine.
I can never again decline.

It isn't for a drinking spree.
A glass a day brings joy to me.
Not as much alcohol as in spirit,
to get drunk on it, I definitely flee.
so as to get good health for free
and light my heart up with glee.
Like taking a cup of tea.
Longlife, just the key, 
Doctors' plea.
As I see.
I agree.
Let it be.
On my knee.
With health, can't be carefree.

Wine and Dine

Wining and dining,
Dancing and prancing
Hoping I'll score,
My money I'm chancing...

Desperate for love,
A body warm
All my sensualities
Begin to swarm

Peck on the cheek,
My $100 prize
I stood there still,
With glazed eyes

Inside she rushed,
With ne're a word,
I stood still on the stoop,
Like a highschool nerd

Was it my hair?
My breath?
My looks?
Does she see
My hands as hooks?

Home I went,
Head hung low,
Well, at least,
Now I know...

No vanity
Do I see...
Worthy of...
Overcoming me.

Dine Upon Autumn Sensations

splendid colors brew
warm potions that soothe the soul
spiced fall concoction

orange marmalade leaves
taste sweet upon thy palate
fresh autumn dessert

crisp cool breezes blow
shaking loose red and gold bells
color symphonies

Premium Member Wine While You Dine

Do you like wine 
whenever you dine? 
Red, white, or rose? 
They are good anyday. 
Sweet or dry? 
Any of them you must try.

Premium Member Dine and Dash

Dine and dash we are on the go
look at all the food below
warm soup is for me
with crackers and brie
are we eating real fast or slow

Premium Member Dine and Dash

Charlie and Marley maculate giraffe
Looking immaculate with a soft laugh
Dinner at Bread and Butter
Had their stomach a flutter
Through the window they ate shocking the staff

Fine Dine

Perfect ceviche
Almost alive
Flounder, Corvina
Pacific coast fish flavored,
One you must try.
Slice
Clean 
Cut
Into 1 inch marbled cubes,
This is not a recipe
But a cooking muse.
Salt
Garlic and pepper
Then shower one of a kind Lime,
Mix with Aji Limo,
Get ready to dine.
Sprinkle
Twirl 
Thinly sliced 
Purple onion,
In the next 2 ½ minutes
Treat yourself,
To the perfect Ceviche 
Made in Peru 
You will eat nowhere else.

Premium Member - Dine and Dash -

                Of course, Dine and Dash don't say no
                Takeaway meals too good to go
                A perfect restaurant
                even to an aged aunt
                Not a profitable portfolio

Premium Member Dine And Dash-Vegan Entree

I ordered my whole gourmet restaurant staff
to serve my pals Molly and Max Giraffe
I humbly have to admit
the vegan meal was a hit
The tall order sparked a jaffy good laugh

Premium Member Dine After Wine

The day began as normal - breakfast time.
I staggered to the café ready to dine.
And yet, what did I see?
Two giraffes drinking tea!
I knew it! Last night I drank too much wine.

(picture prompt, two giraffes drinking tea
through the window)

Premium Member A Season To Remember

Emboldened metal torso dusts her in pink Himalayan flecks
Her mahogany neck persuaded to turn in his grip
Rendering fragrant dark bite from her deep spice chest
The two infused together perfect a harmonious marriage

Her mahogany neck persuaded to turn in his grip
Seasoning lamb's tendered flesh, in a glistening delight
The two infused together perfect a harmonious marriage
Chef, shaker, and grinder bow in sumptuous applause

Seasoning lamb's tendered flesh, in a glistening delight
Refined palate and palisades of sharpened cutlery adorn
Chef, shaker, and grinder bow in sumptuous applause
The curtains drawn, lights hushed in reverie and sighs

Refined palate and palisades of sharpened cutlery adorn
Rendering fragrant dark bite from her deep spice chest
The curtains drawn, lights hushed in reverie and sighs
Emboldened metal torso dusts her in pink Himalayan flecks
