Best Recipes Poems

I ran across a recipe book
Called ‘Cuisine For Clientele’,
On the cover was an unchaste cook
Making prosti-soup and broth-el.

On the back it stated that ‘Eating
Is the most human obsession.
Bar for the one that bears repeating;
The world’s oldest profession.’

At first look I was taken aback,
But placed it in my hand cart.
Then at home found it was amply...

From fruit scones, to meat pie,
Apple crumble and coffee cake,
Sunday tea was amazing,
Because, my Granny sure could bake.
Secret ingredients, she wouldn't divulge,
Passed down from years gone by,
When I look back on those days,
It brings a tear to my eye.
From butterfly buns, to Victoria sponge,
A moist fruit loaf, filled with flavour,
Jam tarts and gingerbread men,
For the...

OUR MASGOUF

The fishes have high wings, but they can feel our deep pain like sisters. Yes, we are the fishes’  brothers and any halo you may see in the dark night is a birthday of this brotherhood. Come here and see the seeds of this earth in an ancient Sumerian tablet, which its recipes...

Creativity swims within me
then put in a splash of whimsy
add in imagination
then pour in intuition
this is a good Pisces recipe!

But for a special 'ME' recipe
I'll add in me being dreamy
just let me escape
I'll fly, sans the cape
Books and pens, and I am all happy

Hmm this limerick is a bit corny
I so wanted this to be...

I picked up Grandma’s recipe book the other day…the one she made just for me…written in her own hand and filled with my favorite recipes.

On the first page of my cookbook…these words…always waiting for me…
‘It’s easy to be a good cook’ she wrote, ‘just follow the recipe!’

As I leafed through the pages in Grandma’s recipe...

The chicken soup’s a’boil,
Fluffy matzoh balls on tap.
We’ll use lots of eggs and oil
By the time we call a wrap.

All the pots and pans are waiting,
And the cookie sheets as well,
For the food we are creating
Which tradition does compel.

As we roast and bake and simmer
For this Friday’s festive meal,
I feel more than just a glimmer
Of...

Marie's recipes finger-licking, why
                  poor Raymond lived dangerously close by

Rob Brezsny reports
In 2004, San Rafael hosted a World Conference of Soul-Making
resulting in three schools for best PeaceMaking practices,
to which I will add one 
more democratically inclusive,
less autonomously exclusive.

"The Ruminators
theorized that humans are born without [divine] souls
and can create them only through arduous,
disciplined rebellion against all [trauma-informed] belief systems.

The Resonators
agreed that soul [peace] isn't innate,
but...

If you're reading this, honey 
it means the diner is burning,

It's not a typo or a misprint,
but a message:

Witches are wisdom-embedded
women who have seen worse things
than the business end of a newt's behind

I once made a man cry with desire
on a whim by telling him who he was
at twenty-five, I hadn't yet realized

it's really just...

I am a collector of cookbooks from every store,
I can never have enough I always need more.
Cookbooks with pretty food pictures galore,
I find them on every shore.
When I travel near and far,
I find a cookbook that is a real star.
With thousands of great recipes to cook,
How in the world do I just take one look?
Cookies...

For what I know, I can write a book. 
I have spent nearly my whole life as a cook. 
There are so many recipes that are fabulous. 
Some are simple while others are a fuss. 
However, it all comes out great in a bowl or a plate. 
Want to try a sample? I'll bet you...

My cooking skills changed my sad mood,
I learned them by watching patient mom in relentless motion
as she put much passion in her tasty food...
who could resist not giving it a try and carry on that devotion? 


In the steamy kitchen, she spent a lifetime inventing great, exquisite recipes;
a self-made chief in her own right with...

Is There Any Chocolate Bars Out There – Recipes Needed 

All the planets are just too far
For me to drive there in my car
I therefore can’t go there to explore
To see if they have chocolate bars

But wouldn’t it be so much fun
To Snickers to them up there some 
My deep fried choco bars
Which we agree...

They’ve all saved Grandma’s recipes…some they know by heart…many in a copy of the book she wrote them in…for it is often amidst her recipes…where memories of her begin.

Whenever they read her handwriting…sort through her ingredients…turn on a mixer…pick up a knife…whenever they bake what Grandma baked…it brings her back to life.

For it is surrounded...
