Symbolizes long life,
Specialty of each wife;
Sauce--so meaty to drool,
Satiates and makes us full!
So flavorful in sight,
Super Christmas delight,
Sumptuous meal’s highlight.

eating spaghetti
a happy messy meal
meat sauce on my chin
others twist it onto a fork
a skill I never learned
i slurp it up like a straw turned into a snake

Spaghetti Rose couldn't see her toes,
For all the noodles up her nose!
Inhaled by the bale,
All else would pale,
When Spaghetti Rose ended up in jail!
You see,
She had stolen a load of spaghetti for her nose!

i sat down
at a table,
and
i picked
up my
fork.
the fork had
several noodles
with
sauce wrapped tightly
around
it,
but when
i picked
it up,
they slid away
into
the dark abyss.

I dreamed my way here
I’ve had my cringe moments
I feel pressure, I lose perspective
I’ve wholeheartedly failed
I misspeak, underthink, overreact
I try to do the right thing
the right thing isn’t always clear
I’ve tried to hold on
I’ve let go with grace
I’ve charged ahead
I’ve stepped aside
I self-sabotage, then try to do better
I’ve self-consciously retreated
I’ve stood up for others
I’ve backed down and apologized
I’ve rinsed and repeated
I’m a chameleon, but I’ve never been perfect
I’ve under-reacted to challenges
I’ve overreacted to the ordinary
I devalue likeability
I indulge the language of play
I share my human experience
I don’t know what else to say.

Swirling round the cheese.
Dine without apologies.
Sipping this cream soup,
As I begin savoring
This sweet and savory meal.

Y'all
I am just so d#mn happy to be alive
Trees are green!
The ground smells earthy and warm!
Music exists and it's amazing!
My stomach is full of spaghetti
And I bounced on a trampoline today!
I cannot fully express
Just how much
I have fallen in love with life

On the top of my delicious spaghetti
Always covered with cheese
I miraculously lose my poor meatball
When someone uninvited sneezes
It rolls of a marble table
And splats onto the floor
Then my poor meatball
Heads right out the door!
It rolled in a grassy garden
And right under a bush
Now my poor meatball
Was nothing but a mush
The mush was still very tasty
As tasty as can be
Then early next summer,
It grew into a wooden tree
The wooden tree was covered
With the prettiest moss
It grew the most lovely meatballs
In fantastic tomato sauce
So if you like delicious spaghetti
Always covered in cheese
Hold onto your poor meatball
And make sure you never sneeze!

I am in a mood today
Can not say I am mad
I just feel out of place
And no I am not sad
So I will choose to smile
On the inside where it matters
Turn this whole funk around
Avoid annoyed mad hatters
See I ate spaghetti for lunch
Someone else is hungry for sure
Why get my panties in a bunch
Cuz life can be so unsure
I prayed for a place to stay
Looks like that’s in the works
The only thing is I’m afraid
Of acting anti social like a jerk
So please forgive my sharp glance
It is not meant for you
There was this rapist man
Who taught me what I should do
Wearing my gun in a gaze
Instead of packing for real
Really works for bad days
When my attitude isn’t chill
So this mood of gray will pass
And I will finally feel relieved
We all need a good green laugh
So I’m going to watch a comedy.

this kitchen i'm in

Spaghetti
The meat,
the cheese,
the sauce.
The smiles,
the laughs,
the wine.
The music,
the song,
the moment...
The vow of forever!
Then...
You and I,
and the garlic bread!

Smell luscious savory
Sauce made of tomatoes
Simmering on the stove.
Seasoned beef with onions
Soon will be added in.
Savor it poured over
Skinny strands of pasta!
