Premium Member Pizza

A Foodie Pleiades Poetry Contest
Andrea Dietrich

Parades of dough shapes pie

Pepperoni walks in

Pasta sauce rallies taste

Pockets of crust tips edge

Proud dills and hams in step

Perhaps anchovies, too

Procession of cheese crowns

Premium Member Prejudices Will Not Be Tolerated

Of being prejudiced Clyde was accused,

   Leaving his reputation a tad bruised.

      "If I'm hateful, so be it,

         But I hasten to admit,

            I hate pizza with anchovies", he mused!

Last check before the parrot was taken outside

I forgot to add tomatoes to
the beef. 
And I was told to put a 1/2
Of white grape juice in the
Broth with an additional
3 T of crown royal
and to omit the horseradish. 
We added one teaspoon of
Anchovies oil to the mayo
and crumbled in some sun
dried tomatoes. 
That should be the show! 
Sweet banana peppers to
do the thang!

Wrong Guy, Guy

Wrong Guy, Guy

A pistol pressed against his skull
The policeman put him on his knees
"What's in the suitcase?" The policeman asked
Referring to the suitcase full of anchovies
nothing but samples for a trade show
Sam Adams lied.
the police opened it up and found ten kilos of hidden cocaine
the policeman took it as illegal evidence and let Sam Go.

Catalan Interlude

She tucks long hair behind her ears,
lifts him over dark breakwaters,
their eyes closed, she funnels him
into her purse seine.
Fingers fit watery gloves,
olive oil and rose water,
flavors spill over
Catalan rain clouds,
a musky tarragon,
a salty lamina
folded through
anemone fingers.
Later they watch a topaz sun
ride over waves
as it dips for darting anchovies.

Premium Member My Blue Cheese Is

Anchovy that stinky small fish
Don't place it on my salad plate
Don't serve it on my pizza dish
As appetizers it won't sate

The odor clings to the lettuce leaves
It ruins each pizza slice touched
Don't serve me anchovies, it grieves
all my senses when they are smutched  


Smutched means when something is smudged..
Rispetto is form but it is a rhyming form.

Premium Member Why Don'T They Give Up Sardines

Cats in costume on an October Halloween
Dressed as robots, dogs, and a beauty queen.
Tromping along in a line, from door to door.
Smelling their chocolate candies, but wanting more.

Why don’t they give us sardines? One kit doth ask.
They cannot afford it said her pal in a butterfly mask.
How about pizza with anchovies? She does suggest.
Snickers and Reeses, says another who likes them the best

Premium Member From the Hollow of An Avocado

Sipping champagne from the hollow 
      of an avocado, on a cactus-lined
         boulevard in St. Looie

   While munching on anchovies
      slathered with salsa, the nerve
         of them calling us screwy

   On the dashboard piled high
      were half-empty cruises of gin ...
         By the time we crashed the car
         into a passing trolley car ~
   I swear I saw Busch Brewery spin

Premium Member No Anchovies

No pizza of mine
will have those fishes packed in brine.
I must agree they do not taste fine.
I like mushrooms, peppers, and extra cheese.
However, I ask one favor please.
I do not want pizza with anchovies.
For some other folks who like meat,
sausage and pepperoni can be neat.
Those little fishes are salty and never sweet.
Very few ever consider them a treat.
Therefore, before the pizza gets cold,
I want you to place those anchovies on hold.

Catalan

She tucks hair behind her ears,
sheen gathers, raven is the light of her.
She lifts him over dark breakwaters,
eyes closed, she funnels him
into her purse seine.
Fingers fit watery gloves,
olive oil and rose water, flavors spill.
Catalan rain clouds weep their sweet moments.
A tarragon musk, a salty lamina folded through
anemone fingers. Gestures flex and unwind.
A topaz sun rides over evening waves,
dips for darting anchovies, sinks into memory.

Culinary Connivances

“This bitter, green fruit soaked in brine
is palatable, but I wish
to make the flavor more divine
by stuffing in some oily fish.”

“That thistle up there on the hill,
though spiny-sharp and armor-tough,
might prove to be delectable,
if it were just boiled enough.”

Who first made such discoveries?
Were they intended to be jokes – 
the olives stuffed with anchovies
and boiled hearts of artichokes?

Though I think they are delicious,
their origins seem pernicious.

Yeasty

Yeasty with a cornmealed bottom
The sun-dried tomato's and sundried
Red bell peppers called me 
The parmesaned and garlic crust
topped with olives, anchovies, and
Onions
the queint essential of elegance 
refined by the knead of belonging
Bacon wrapped artichokes 
With a hint of lemon
Mozzarella browned to create a
delicate longing of satisfaction. 
Basil, oregano, and olive oil
 Enough to tease. Just enough 
 to taunt. Pleasing and exciting
 the palettes and taste buds!
