Ode to cooked food

Bite into this carrot, it has been roasting in the oven for an hour,
Its flavor has intensified, the sugars turned to a caramel glaze.
I am in carrot heaven.

Savor this beef; it will melt on your tongue, so tender.
The red wine has melded with the garlic and the herbs,
It is a rustic sauce of perfection.

Sink your teeth into the earthy skin of this baked potato
Allow your self the pleasure of devouring the fluffy white flesh
With the melted butter, and fill your soul with comfort.

Smell the warm bread and delight in every bite,
It took the time to rise for you and it’s grand finale
Upon leaving the oven deserves a standing ovation.

Have you ever tasted a peach when it has been grilled?
It’s warm flesh melting the ice cream below,
It’s partner in crime; a raspberry sauce once sour,
Is now sweet as nectar from being swirled around a pot over fire.

Fire is older than the blender; heat it up, cook it, roast it, grill it,
And enjoy it.

Congrats Tash on a great month. Wish you had gotten 2nd or 3rd though.

Well done Tash, a personal best, a great month!

Happy Birthday Tash, have a great day!

“I have never found anybody who could stand to accept the daily demonstrative love I feel in me, and give back as good as I give.” Sylvia Plath

Procrastination:

Red tail hawk circling in the sky
Planet orbiting the sun

Burn effect on photoshop
Guy Fawks effigy in flames

Searching through images for perfection
Scouring the beach for sea glass

tasha this is chaffy,shh don`t tell anyone!!!

Inspired by:
“Shall I compare thee to a Summers day”.

The graze of the jagged, cold rock
Is made more painful by the salty residue from the ocean spray
The wet sand sinks
Each step harder than the next to move
Onwards. The wind whips and lashes like knives.
Fuck you winter; fuck you for your grim brutality.
And fuck you for the void.

Pedestal

Is it very high up there?
“Can you hear me?”
I hope you don’t have vertigo.
I hope you don’t fall off.

“Can you see me down here?”
Am I very, very small?
I wish that I could reach you.
I hope you don’t forget me.

Am I the only one who knows you’re there?
Do others bend their necks in awe?
Was it I who put you up there?
And is it only I who can bring you down?
