Welcome to Poetry Friday! This week we are hosted by Irene Latham Here. Thank you, Irene, for hosting. Be sure to stop by and see what’s cooking.
Cooking?
It’s on my mind. I visited a good friend today who loves to cook. I was also thinking about cinquain poems and let food inspire me to write one.
What is a Cinquain? Five lines. Syllable count 2,4,6,8,2. Check out Kenn Nesbitt’s wonderful video Here. He recommends starting with something you like in the first line.
MY FAVORITE FOOD
Red sauce,
tomatoey,
concoction in a pot
ladled on a bowl of steaming
noodles.

Considering it’s Birdtopia month, here’s a cinquain about the Great Blue Heron I wrote after reading they eat fish, frogs, turtles, snakes, insects, birds and rodents. What a menu!
THE GREAT BLUE HERON
Stately,
but not fussy–
eats most creatures that move,
from Florida to Alaska.
Adapts.
