Royal Ball

Spirits soar on high trajectory
cotillion with the finest in life
mild confusion, dancing deadline reached
as evening dish is served in full
a tantalizing intergalactic flavor
intricate enough to impress Voltaire
a partnering of duck and sage spices
the slightest tang of a citrus acid
butter to emphasize the richness further
reunion of tongue and fork repeating
magical taste that would eviscerate
the most melodramatic threnody
enjoyed at the royal ball

29 Jan 2010

Today’s whimsical poem is Burnt Sausage which is a poem about the life of a sausage overcooked. It was inspired by the 13 random words (in blue) provided by the following twitter followers:
@AttilaBS (coruscate), @drdon911 (retrospect), @filigreegirl (endurance), @blusol (sausage), @yellow0211 (peculiar), @stevejclark (celebrate), @HarleyQuinnAA (Ectoenzyme), @hammyhavoc (Circumlocution), @JenaIsle (diazotized), @rembeatz (recruitment), @sinned24 (barnyard), @digitalfilipino (love), @BloggerTalk (humiliated)

Burnt Sausage

Recruitment began in the barnyard
meat ground and seasoned lightly
casing surrounding like an ectoenzyme
poor peculiar diazotized sausage
oil and fat sizzle and coruscate
endurance tested on a frying pan
now left on a plate, uneaten
alone, dejected and humiliated
lengthy circumlocution can describe why
who would celebrate the rubbery edges
or love the burnt flavor if consumed
in retrospect, it was overcooked

twitter poems
15 Jul 2009

Today’s random twitter poem is about a chef presenting a creation that was supposed to bring him fame and greatness, only to realize he made the dish too spicy and instead was embarrassed. This poem inspired by the 11 random words (in blue) provided by my twitter followers below:

@ryjr (immortality), @KathrynVercillo (miscellaneous), @DVDsnapshot (crocodile), @CelebritiCat (sybaritic), @numbnuggets (diaphoresis), @shemah (gourmet), @jeremylewit (trenchant), @AnnEvanston (eucalyptus), @filigreegirl (disgruntled), @dreamsvapor (trepid), @katheesue (predicament)

Culinary Disaster

What was supposed to have sybaritic flavor
a trenchant gourmet treat for all to savor
that would bring immortality to your cuisine
instead became as toxic to your career
as a eucalyptus leaf is to ingest
trepid disappointment leaving you angrier
than a disgruntled crocodile now
as customers suffer from diaphoresis
from the multitude of miscellaneous peppers
a predicament, now causing their mouths to gape
as they start demanding water and drinks
you realize your dish was too spicy
and embarrassment and shame
are your lasting friend
