Best Pretzels Poems

A rest stop break and next to us
A group of German folken.
The universal language
Filled with gestures soon was spoken.

Perhaps a food tour? All were
Apron-clad and eating lunch
And drinking wine and laughing
As they'd sip and talk and munch.

My husband shrugged and pointed,
Meaning, What? No food for...

There is a bakery on Federal Street.
What they produce there is certainly a treat.
You can smell those pretzels baking inside.

Still Life with Cheeses, Almonds and Pretzels

Still life, not stillborn,
With a woman’s face
In dusky background hues,
 Pure clarity clothed in white,
Gazing on gastronomic abundance.

The woman’s place of her time -
Guardian of the sweet rewards
Served like bridal wine,
Topping...

jalapeño pretzels & the adulation of small things

savoring a cup of coffee,
taking a moment to enjoy the way a cardigan you’ve had for years
feels
when you throw it on for the

Pretzels come in many shapes,
Like rods and twists and sticks,
Some with salt and some without,
Depending on your fix.

I’ve tasted some with honey
Or with onion or with cheese
Or those peanut-butter filled ones,
Which some fans will surely please.

There are jalapeño pretzels 
For the snackers who like spice
And...

Today is National Pretzel Day…the day to give our hats a tip
to the long-suffering cousin of the more popular potato chip.

but in a list of the most popular snacks...pretzels aren’t in the top 10?

How can they...
