Nourishing Haiku

1 Tadpole

Bite the wax tadpole!

I am burning with the fire

of Nachos Grande

 

10 Blisters

The tip of my tongue -

sensitive and blistering

from molten cheddar.

 

12 Coffee

Coffee and doughnuts -

fringe benefits of vowing

to serve and protect.

 

24 Quesadilla

My quesadilla

drips melted mozzarella

all over my shirt.

 

28 Wheat

Grilled cheese on wheat bread:

both-sides,buttered, griddle-cooked,

in-seconds-eaten.

 

55 Wolf

I’m hungrier now

thank I’ve ever been before.

Hungry like the wolf.

 

71 Nostalgia

Bitter black coffee

sparks a strange nostalgia for

beer and ex-lovers.

 

75 Stretch Pants

the health inspector

wears a badge and pink stretch pants.

safety is assured.

 

80 Pie

In a pie death match

between cherry and pecan,

cherry would so win.
