In response to dVerse Poets Pub Poetics: Spicing It Up Hosted by merrildsmith – Use at least three of the spices listed in your poem: Aleppo Pepper
Arizona Dreaming Basil Cinnamon Coriander
Cumin Dill Fennel Seed Garam Masala Ginger Krakow Nights Lemongrass Mulling Spices Mural of Flavor Mustard Seeds Nutmeg Paprika Saffron Sea Salt Sesame Seeds Sunny Paris Thyme Tuscan Sunset Vanilla Zatar
I have to admit though it pains
me to confess this
A cook I am not
and never will be
I haven’t the patience
nor even the thyme
To fiddle with fennel
or flavor with dill
Not a spot of paprika
no pinch of green basil
or is basil brown
Never ever have used
Forget all about mulling
over convoluted spices
And however do you flavor
with a tincture or mural
No I think I’ll stick
to my nightly routine
Take it out of the freezer
microwave and be done!
