I am always glad to receive an inspired MY PLATE HAIKU regarding food, eating, cooking, agriculture or nourishment. I include these lovely haikus on a rotational basis or when they are particularly relevant at the end of each of my posts and include the poet’s first name. Please see my posts Dietary Haiku and Haiku for You and submit your offering on one of the comment links.
With appreciation, Elyn
My Plate Haikus
Are we what we eat/Or do we eat what we are/Are they the same thing? Julie
The farmers’ market/Each egg at the dairy stand/A different color. Enki
Spread peanut butter/On whole grain sweet dark bread/Raspberry jam-yum. Barb
Food made joyfully/As a gift of time and self/Feeds body and soul. Anne-Marie
Deep scarlet red beets/Reveal your sweetness to me/Slip out of your skins. Elyn
Blueberry bushes/Three children with empty pails/Pluck, pluck, crunch, exhale. Michael
Craving for pickles/And German chocolate cake/My friend is pregnant. Gretchen
Smooth peanut butter/Spread on a peeled banana/Snack time perfection. Gretchen
Hunger tiptoes in/From bellies, hearts or minds/Feed me now she calls. Eva
Grasses, grain, fruit, wine/Garden flowers produce joy/Kitchen flours bread. Gordon
Food is medicine/Farmers are doctors, Cooks priests/Eat, pray, eat, pray, love. Gordon
Peach baskets brimming/Raspberries ripe on the bush/Apples soon to come. Anna
On a way of life
And it’s working
I am writing because you have an article with me in it on your site. I was hoping you could add my link to my name so people can find more easily. Thank you so much
