Italian food, I love! It’s true!
But picking one specific? Oooo!
How does one choose which dish to eat?
With Pizza, spicy; Nougat, sweet?
Spaghetti’d wake me from the dead,
When paired with some Focaccia bread,
Some Ravioli would be nice,
Or how about Risotto (rice!),
Or Pasta Carbonara, yum!
With Panna Cotta’d please my tum!
Bruschetta start and Gnocchi end,
Then Tiramisu ‘tween us friends?
Some Cannoli? Give me lots!
All topped with Marinara sauce!
Or Tortellini, grab a fork,
I love it stuffed with cheese and pork!
But try to choose just one? I’m stumped,
All these and more would get me pumped!
So...
My memorable Italian ‘spree’?
Any one someone makes for me!
With poetry, we all besought
To try to make the week begin
With gentle thoughts,
Perhaps a grin?
So Karen, Charlotte, Mimi, me
Have crafted poems for you to see.
And now you’ve read what we have wrought…
Did we help?
Or did we not?
Topics for the next few weeks (with a huge thank-you to Mimi, who comes up with so many of them!)...

ReplyDeleteOh how I wish Italian food loved me as much as I love it!
ReplyDeleteWish I didn't love carbs so much, but I do! All your yummy writing is whetting the appetite...Laurie
ReplyDeleteOhh you had troubles choosing as well. I like this poem, and I am happy that I just ate before reading - else I would have gone amok cooking
ReplyDeleteYou are so right! If someone else cooked, it's a favorite.
ReplyDeleteLove the new topics. For future possible consideration, treasure, stuffed animals, get lost, clocks or time.
My husband is of Italian descent on both sides of his family. And I love his cooking. Italian food, yum!
