Sijo On A Wet Saturday Afternoon
Sijo ..A Korean Poetic Form
Let me ask you, butterfly, do you remember your cocoon?
Perhaps you recall spinning thread, a caterpillar's ungainly crawl?
If you can jog your memory ,maybe there is hope for me.

Carpe Diem Haiku Kai
my ears ring with joy as i whisk eggs and chop onions
you cast your magic , who knew slicing red peppers was euphoric
i flip the omelettes con brio, to your seductive gigue

How easy it is to imagine the look in the lovers eyes as those omelettes are being made. (I am wiping the grin from my face...I promise).
ReplyDeleteThis was a treat to read. The first one was motivating and the second one was very romantic.

ReplyDeleteAN interesting piece of poetry; one of which made me think and for me that's a good thing when a piece makes you do that. Oh and thaks for visiting my blog.

Stunning words with worlds of meaning
ReplyDeleteThis is one of my favourite forms. And I love the words you've used it for – and the lovely music.
ReplyDeleteAh! Nice, who knew cooking together could be romantic:) Nicely done.
ReplyDeleteBeautifully written. As an aside, I just had coffee on the back verandah to the tune of Italian Concertos (modified). Music and food, heaven.
ReplyDeleteAh yes the Alison Balsom rendition....was wondering why you were sounding so soft and breathless...:)
DeleteSplendid.
