Cold drink glasses clank with the loud laughter
Heads of kin wiggle as smoky fragrance floats
Infused with garlic, spices, and squeeze of lime
Chicken kebab deeply grilled lines up the plate
Ketchup splash, onion slice garnish the delicacy
Every bite offers an aromatic and tangy treat
Nestled on the dish is a masterpiece of meat.
Keen for the alluring crispy taste and tender tang
Enjoying the dinner that bonds us with food and fun
Bounteous platters are emptied with happy speed
Appetite is satiated with savory good times spent
Bliss of feast permeates the content hearts for long.
An Acrostic Hidden in Asterisks
[*]eads to philosophical absurdity
[*]o back in the closet
[*]orrowing from another worldview
[*]o make sense of psychological psin
[*]uestioning the kirke
[*]dealistic foppery
[*]ct now, repent unrepentant
[*]eeding a Savior
Plus: healing (for oneself and a nation)

Monocrostic (Birthday of Krischelle E. Rafael)
Souls connected through time
Coupled together by love and blood
Arranged into families
Realizing where that thread originated and
Leads, tells us who we are.
Engineered by the Creator
To bring about His will
Time to open our eyes
Hear with our ears the
Reality before us.
Evidenced by the blood lines
Aligned back and back, leading us to
Deliverance!

Birthday Double Tetractys for Eve
To
our friend
Eve Roper:
valued poet
every poem from her artistic hand
Reads like a painting looks - inspired! Using
only words that
proclaim her
essence:
real.
Birthday Limerick for Jan
Jan Allison, born on this day
always knows just the right words to say:
nature writes, soulful verse -
Apropos and diverse,
limericks are her playful forté
laughing loudly, I read all I can
isle of Man should be called 'Isle of Jan'
such an inspired muse
on the news (and the poos)
not to mention orange-faced pumpkin man!
// Happy birthday (January 25th) to two beloved pillars of Poetry Soup! //
