GOOD LUCK MEAL

Hog jowl fried so crispy brown
Black eyed peas abound
Collard greens from the truck patch
Sweet tea down the hatch
Candied yams as well
My, do tell
YUM!!

(Gathering of thankful family and friends)
 
Time for a Thanksgiving feast
Hope you’re all hungry
There’s stuffed turkey finely browned,
pineapple glazed ham, salads,
Collard greens, hot breads…
Yam pudding, bundt cakes, 
Pies, and more		
Eat!...

Give me some mustard and collard greens. 
Bring along some rice and beans. 
I'll have some chicken good enough for finger licking. 
Those barbecued ribs are rib sticking. 
If you want to see me open my eyes, 
serve me any assortment of pies. 
This is the food I extol. 
This kind of food is good for the soul....

Poem: Soul Food
Edited by: Sparkle Jordan
written: February/2013


Huh, huh, huh
gone cook
some
good o'l 
soul food 
in
my kitchen,

like
collard greens,
corn bread 
and
sweet potato
yams - 

Gone
add some
deep fried
pork chops,

with a
casserole 
full
 of
mac & cheese -

And
white rice,
with gravy
and
black eye peas -

Huh, huh, huh
gone cook
some
good o'l
soul food
in
my kitchen -...

It's hard to find good collard greens
Where I live in New York.
You'll rarely find them hanging
Off a New York restaurant fork.

But I'm in Carolina now
So everywhere you look,
Some barbecue is being prepped
To very slowly cook.

Tonight I got to sample some
And you know what that means -
Along with my pulled pork there was
A heap of collard greens.

I savored every bite because
Tomorrow I'll be home.
The only collards there will be
Those mentioned in my poem....

 A garden
~
Ms Ruthie's Garden my neighbour ;
she had such pretty pearl white peonies;
red, yellow, oranges roses and begonias;
~
had a pure immaculate lawn;
on purpose separately grown dandelions;
pick, cut the leaves washed boil them in a pot;
Ms Ruthie dandelions from her garden,
~
...tasted as good or better than collard greens
