POTF #5

It was poetry club meeting day today. In addition to making it a very long day we free wrote as usual. Today’s exercise was write on “In Praise of ____”. Thus:

Praise for Spaghetti

You are my staple
My go to, my fav
My comfort food quotient
to you I give praise

Tired and stupid
at the end of my day
You are there at the market
and so easy to make

I love you, you soothe me
and remind me of Mom
Heaped up on garlic bread
all fragrant and warm

There’s always enough
and leftovers besides
Even better the next day
as “pasketti” refried
