Slowly stir the boiling brew,
With fresh bit of meat a stew,
Onion, pepper, no carrot
Which at the store I forgot.

Pot of trouble boils double.

Flour, water, and some oil,
Baking bread in midst of boil;
The window is covered in steam
Aroma build to the dream

Pot of trouble boils double.

The bread has become crusty,
The potatoes are mushy,
Now I sit to eat alone,
Within this cell that’s my home.

Gloom

Feasting

Feast awaits you, Sir of Gloom
Candles lit to shadow room
Courses six, the first of tease
Tempting hunger, sweet to please.

Waiting lips to taste the night.

Second course delights to touch
Softened warmth to melt, not much
Yet comes the third, tougher still
Thy tongue dost need, taste of swill.

Waiting lips to taste the Knight.

Other courses stay the time
Holding court your love of rhyme
This feast night spent has no cost
Gloom, feed 'til the hungers lost...

Lady Ollyne...enjoyed your style sonnet

To hear with eyes belongs to love's fine wit"...Shakespeare

"Within this cell that’s my home."

geesh... *whew*.... i know this feeling
you've got a way with words, sliced, diced, and mixed up, poured out into a delectable read

Thank you, Lady Ollyne,
You poetic response in kind
Shows the talent and spirit within you.

Thank you, doreen peri,
I am pleased you like my way with words

Thank you, Victoria,
Although I count myself a survivor
I doubt that I would last long in that
Personality competition.
Glad you liked my poem.

Sounds like a great supper, except for the being alone part.  I could smell that bread baking.  Mmmmmmm!
