Best Truffle Poems


Truffle Heaven

I take 
Sunrise in my hand
and let waterfalls
slip through

Cupping sun in my palm,
letting it spread over 
dark and gorgeous
bliss

bittersweet
embracing the sun,
enveloped by 
melting buttered warmth

fire comes into play
melding everything together

a swirl of yellow goodness
and brown desire
mixed with passion

then the wait begins...

...and ends

as chocolate love
is touched by
gentle hands

warmth oozes 
through hands
as love melts
quickly

so let it roll
in powdered softness

to break the fall...

irresistible~~!
take one bite 
of pleasure

just pure bliss
in 
chocolate 
truffle heaven~

Premium Member Its Truffle Time

With skilled search plans, maps and watchful scanning eyes,
The packs of hunters and dogs head off into the pine trees,
Scouring the land carefully, as the dogs yelp their cries.
Digging out strange white-brown and black lumps, while on their knees.
Pushing the dogs away as the hunters from the earth they prise.

Beneath the earth, lies this wondrous precious culinary surprise,
A delicacy much cherished, that's more priceless than gold.
Its truffles they're after, lying low in the pine roots there is the prize,
Dogs have been trained to help in the hunt since the days of old.
To sniff about under the trees, for any tell-tale scents that arise.

The truffle unearthed is a strange amorphous, dirty ball.
Belying its splendid aroma and tantalizing taste.
A pile of soil-like lumps pulled from the stumps is the haul.
A harvest, which could so easily be thrown away in haste,
Is this rare delicacy, so much treasured by chefs one and all.

In fancy kitchens everywhere, the magic becomes clear.
From pasta to risotto, sauces and sprinkles, truffles infuse delight,
With masterful hands, the lovely delicate flavors appear
And make every bite a symphony, a culinary trip, a joy-flight.
Savoring the earthy flavor and aroma beloved so dear.

Premium Member Truffle Hunt

Black Gold, French haute cuisine, that is!
Truffles - Black, White and Brown! 
These humble amorphous lumps of fungi fruit dung,
are diamonds in the dirt, 
much coveted by chefs all over,
for their taste and nice aroma.
But, wild truffles on the loose in the fields,
elude the foibles of weak human nose sniffs.

So, rout out the dogs and pigs!
Blow the horn, rustle them up. 
Get the hunting hounds out, 
the sniffer pigs, the horses.
The hunt is on!
We're hounding down the truffles,
buried deep, down among 
the dead-men roots of oak and hazelnut trees,
hidden subterranean.

Watch the sows, mind their grunts,
for pigs devout, with sniffer snouts,
plough up the soil to root them out.
Beware, look out, watch them!
For sniffer sows also eat what they rout.
They love their truffles, au naturale, dirt and all.
So take care you rein them in, 
and muzzle their sneaky snouts,

Dogs are better truffle hunters than pigs,
when the hunt is done and truffles dusted.
For, dogs are sniffers, not snout routers,
pointing paws at truffle lairs, 
and not clawing prey out.

Better still, dogs don't like the taste the truffles.
Leaving pigs and human taste buds to 
to titillate, salivate, 
and devour the truffle hoard.

Pig, with a fine nose.
Truffle, with a rustic smell.
Forests, where they meet.
The pig, to hear his sweet praise.
Mushroom, now served on a plate.

Good Days Truffle

Musica El Rubbia

He thought it cute the way she treated him. Mortals often use emotions to express there disappointment he spoke. He married even with these faults, spoke Aphroditie. She had his children and in the delusional state of togetherness she thought she could satisfy a God! Grandiose plans to reform a dieti often is seen as delusional and done by someone who hides behind a facade. A person that beleives in lies might be a lie: or a liar herself.Constant infidelity and threats of separation are signs of a divioce, might they wish or are in agreement. A fool follies in the murky swamps to only wish for someone to find them. Who narrarates there path to redemption.Hecate deceived Ares who had 10 of her 13 children. When Hecate was found cheating with Aether. Ares left him while Hacate was on Hiatus. she then sleep with Rhadamanthus during a passionate love affair, and changed all of Hacates childrens names to her fathers lastname making them her brothers and sisters. When Hacate came home he cursed her with a storm that only hoover over her house. Shiva the maid was asked to find an instrument to break the spell before the foundation crumbled. Shiva asked the male-witch Hypnos  for use of the conch, used in rituals to create cosmic sounds or wield divine power.  This would counter-act the spell and would put Hecate to sleep for an eternity. Appolo told Hacte of what his wife was doing.Hacate laughed, and said "she is a mortal, with mortal ways," Apollo told Hacte to go to her with the foolish woman playing the instrument and fall upon your knee's and hold your ears, and pretend to be asleep, I will come and take you from there to have her to beleive she has made you to sleep for eternity. During the festival of winter Hacate came baring gifts and asked his wife to for give him, she refused and asked Shiva to play the conch, she did and Hacate fell to his knee's and and pretended to be a sleep, the rain stopped and all was queit. Apollo came and asked the woman," are ye to smile at the stopping of the rain, and now that he sleeps who shall stand by him forever?" Ares looked to Apollo and said stand before me only to leave and with you might he never again be here. Take him and leave!Apollo levitated Hacate and disapeared forever asleep. So Ares and her children thought.
