Premium Member Pickled Onions
They don't taste the same as the ones that filled those big jars which sat in a cupboard serving out the four week wait. My mouth still craves for that first crisp bite, the tangy, sweet release of spicy vinegar as my teeth cut through the tightly wound layers, the sharp burst of pleasure, the lingering after-taste. Nowadays pickled onions, like those at the back...

Premium Member Onions make you Weep
In this modern kitchen where laughter abounds, Onions emerge, their potency astounds. Strong men, once mighty, now succumb to tears, As the potent onions stir up their deepest fears. Yet within this vulnerability, strength takes flight, As each man trembles, their bravery ignites. With onions sliced and tears freely shed, They cast aside their pride, their emotions spread. The rhythmic echo of knife...

Yet once you’ve taken that book in your hand, then pointed the poised pen at the page, while chewing on that pickled onion, there’s a distracting sound you’d rather not hear. A...

The old church lay in ruins, left to languish in time. He was sitting on the grave talking to Sergeant R Johnston. Well, I suppose you want an update on the war. Let me see now, where do I begin. Monday 0500 hrs, Pete was the first to moan, feckin hate early mornings. Well, you would stay up all night...

Presidential Onions
Two men stood in my youth Upon a pedestal which all beheld Both placed on the reality behind the screen I put my hand to it and cried You were my only friends Mr. Obama, you spoke about change. All I wanted was change from my dreary life, And then the other came. Oh Shrek so glorious in your rotundity, With you around I...

Premium Member Onions In My Dreams
Onions in my meatloaf, in chili, and in sloppy Joe's they make us smile In scalloped corn, and of course mashed potato gravy once in a while Onions are chopped, ready to be slopped into everything here For my husband and I adore them, hold their taste the most dear. Others can have their ketchups, mustards, mayonnaise, and such. Onions...

Girls and Their Onions
Small town, broken window houses dead roses hang in kitchens leftovers of other women who eat beef in dark rooms. We are not like them. Don't touch us, not ready. Our oven mitts are on. Men can knob themselves while we grind knives. We don't want to be under the...
