Lasagna Obession
Hear this one Magnificent Obsession
Garfield and I captives of an "OCD" dream
Savory lasagna - our confession -
A gooey, cheesy delicious extreme.
Garfield and I captives of an "OCD" dream
Happy our tummies in sweet digestion
A gooey, cheesy delicious extreme
Perfumed garlic-marjoram expression.
Happy our tummies in sweet digestion
Savory lasagna - our confession
Perfumed garlic-marjoram expression
Hear this one Magnificent Obsession.

Rhymes checked with RhymeZone
Delicately smoke stacks rose in tendrils
From my lobotomised mind, tracks of steam
Channels which searched for surrendour
Teased unfamiliar air aflame, eventual glean
Chances which blind chases never uncovered
Now relaxed stance soul caresses confirm
Worth in the venture for connections recovered
Ratified tangible textures of trust returned
Sharply sprung tongue sprig of marjoram burst
Sends corresponding signals sweet salty
Cardboard dry enclosure summoned my thirst
Seasoned with fish fall apart white sultry
Flipped on my untrained pallette, ripe silk drips
Nourished throat thrums an unsung tempo
New reward captured bite butters impatient lips
Slippery flesh accosts a switched off depot
Aniseed's dark unrivalled flavour pinnacle
Nasal travelled spice kidnaps bland indecision
Abrupt acetic fingers, processing difficult
Held captive by capers strange punch derision
Ambience clink clanks cutlery's untimed tune
Calls faithful patronage who pay in blood
Inner soft lobsters promise flesh of high noon
Claw shards pave a love path summoned
20th September 2020
Corn coated wagon wheels green;
Singing in oil bath.
Marjoram, thyme, basil and
Oregano dust
Flavor explosion;
Miracle
Bites!
~The Knot Garden~
Weave up and down, now in an out.
Where does it start?
Where does it stop -
The dance, this lively garden gavotte?
A circle of Thyme, like ladies fair,
Joined with royal ribbons of Sage
Woven throughout with Tarragon’s leaves,
Rosemary’s boughs – handsome as lords.
A stately pattern of no mean estate
Made with Marjoram and Parsley in hue,
An intricate knot, noble in origin,
Sir Basil and Savory in delicate steps.
Oregano bows and Peppermint curtsies –
A duke and his duchess
Entwined in the waltzing
Of ancient design and arrangement.
Lines intersect with flowers of Anise,
Squares within circles – pungent with Dill -
Carefully planned, a castle garden dances,
Intertwined in delight by a King for his Queen.
Dedicated to the reproduction of a medieval knot garden at Filoli Gardens and Estate.
Fairies in my herb garden,
Busy with their chores,
Produce such lovely blossoms.
Chamomile, sage, basil and parsley,
Peppermint, spearmint, marjoram and garlic;
Lemon balm, thyme, dill and oregano;
Chives, marshmallow and saffron,
Even the favorite, catnip.
Fairies encourage their blooms but,
I can’t let my cat go out there, to soon.
She chews the catnip bushes to the ground;
Catnip’s so tall, that it hides the fairies and
I don’t want them to get eaten.
It takes planning, a graveled path, herb sets
to create a heavenly perfume
some time around bloom time
excess pruned down by a third and hung.
We see a bit of the hanging God then
in the silky down of lavender, thyme
offer homage of pressed violets,
golden suns of marigold as tune of awe.
The mincing of the mints is heavenly
as candy, sharp peppermint, mellow lemon balm,
the bedding down of chamomile, poppy maw,
the spiral sweets and gingered leaves of geranium
shavings of orris root, too many iris anyway
so free them all and set the scent create a smelly sum.
Add carnation stars, sticky sweet hollows of fennel
to tell the men, here is where the women live
won’t you remember your marjoram, your rosemary
with the pots on to boil, or laying head on crisp sheets and sigh.
It all takes planning, to decorate, alleviate, scent
create the corners of a life. Let’s go set the herbs.
Then breathe in the heavenly scent of potpourri lent
as offering, homage to all the plenty wonder of our lives.

Chicken salad stuffed tomatoes
Seasoned boiled chicken
Garden fresh herb Lemon Thyme
Sweet Marjoram fine
Crisp fresh Basil leaves
Aroma
Dream!
Alexander leaves now shiny green,
Young stems for a tender cusine;
Lambs lettuce in a salad course
Jacj in the Hedge with mutton sauce;
Sweet Cicely , Marjoram mix and thrive
On shingle bankswhere sa beet survives;
Tansy's spice scented for full flavour
Flowers in omlettes soon to savour;
Seasonal plants of an English clime
Medicine,herbs since ancient time.
