Premium Member STORY OF NUTMEG

Squirrel named Nutmeg, full of cheer,  
Drank eggnog (his downfall, I fear).  
  Staggering with tail asway,
  He leapt onto Santa's sleigh~
"On Prancer!" he shouted—oh dear!

Premium Member Cheesy Christmas Limerick

Barn-ward we heard the reindeer's sneeze.
Smells of nutmeg and clove in the breeze. 
With Santa stuck in the John,
From dusk till about dawn,
Looks like we gave Big Red too much cheese.

Premium Member Nutmeg's Plea

I sit quietly on your spice shelf,
You notice the others, never myself, 
a humble tin of ground nutmeg. 
Please hear me.  I don't wish to beg. 
I wait here, nightly, wide awake - 
please put me in your pie or cake.

Premium Member Oven Baked Apple

Sometime apple pies 
Run and Hide
You don't want to be eaten

Peeled apples roll around
Once a seedling
In planted in the ground
Flour, cinnamon, nutmeg other ingredients...
Mixed and placed in the oven

The Scent of The Moon

let
your mind
be free
with
the
scent of
gingerbread, 
pumpernickel,
nutmeg, 
banana bread,
spring rain,
vanilla extract
and 
sweetgrass
to be exact
is the 
scent of the moon
at last
I
am sure
then
let your
mind be free

Premium Member Poor Old Punjab

Grandpa Punjab was in quite a hurry
He'd run out of cardamom and curry --
   Poor guy tried every place
   Found only nutmeg and lace -- 
Told his wife that his memory was blurry

Scented Leaves

I can smell
The scented leaves
It reminds me of
A sweet potato pie
Baking in the oven
The rich smell of vanilla
Cinnamon and nutmeg
Floating through the air
Giving you the feeling
Of warmth and love

Pumpkins (Epulaeryu)

Home of the jack'o lantern
can be filled with spices---
cinnamon, nutmeg, and more,
to fill our stomachs
on a cool fall night.
Warm pumpkin

Premium Member Moussaka

A velvety creamy bechamel tantalizes the senses
with its complementary cinnamon and nutmeg.
Seasoned meat of choice presented in intricate layers 
among lasagna-like noodles of eggplant and zucchini
guarantee an ultimate gourmet party for the palate.

No Better Gift

No better gift have I from heaven
than a grandchild, now turn'd seven.
of east and west a wondrous blend
she took the best that these could lend:
from Eden's banks her nutmeg hue
her amber eyes from northern dew
and  add to this yet greater pleasure,
a dash of Irish for good measure.

Premium Member Pumpkin Pie

Pumpkin Pie

Warm fresh, aromatic…
nutmeg, cinnamon, clove(s)…ssss…. 

Butter crust, 
hand mixed, 
hand rolled,
by a 100 year old pin. 
Loved on,
by the cook. 

Flakes of heaven, 
peeled away from 
the perfection found 
only at Grandma’s house.

Grandpa smiles, 
and we all laugh. 
Tradition!

Premium Member Christmas Kind Of Love

When the warm nutmeg spirit of generosity
moves you year round,
a Mrs. Claus heart fills your smile.
It's a Christmas kind of love on
any given day,
it has you singing, "Joy to the World,"
with your Yuletide soul soaring 
pool side in the middle of July.
It's a Christmas kind of love
throughout your life. ~

Premium Member My Favorite Food For Thanksgiving

Aunt Kate's Wine Cake---

A dash of nutmeg in the batter, 
takes the cake and makes it better.
But the splash of wine that she adds later,
and another cube of butter
makes us all a little fatter !

Going

Beyond the measure and mead
of circadian rhythm and habitual rhyme
beyond the frequencies and amplitudes
of perambulating waves and recalcitrant lines
Beyond the clamor and din of nutmeg and time
cleavers and butchers and earthmen who climb
Atop the weathered brow of
life's grand conflagration
an old man disembarked at the final destination
