fresh cut mushrooms in the chicken broth
steam of aroma tintillating the tablecloth.
onions fried in olive oil, drizzled on top,
tendrils of thyme dip the garlics in chop.
oregano flakes float in lime green sauce,
rawness of ginger, with the broccolis toss
a splash of sherry on layers of cream
scrambled with eggs, carrots in the team
sipping grated cheese lingering in slow
croutons now dampened, soft and low
paprika sprinkled noodles, a hug so warm
Oh! the bowl's finished, soup-erb perform.
as a perfect medley melts in the mouth,
spoon keeps stirring from north to south.
People of different opinions,
painful opinions which smell like onions
and make some readers and writers
weep like some chefs who always
cut onions and garlics
in singing sad lyrics
In five stars hotels
and beachfronts restaurants.
People of different opinions,
Heavy opinions to carry to millions
of people because of different mindsets.
Some people are captured by diabolical systems
which always claim bloods of innocent folks
to continue being above other nations.
People of different opinions,
Encouraging opinions which can be demonised
by minority people when they find exposed
By some relevant facts.
EDIBLE MUSIC
The garlics are on grand piano in the corner,
Playing alone because of their halitosis.
After making each other’s mouth water,
Clever lemons blowing their trumpets by osmosis.
Onions on sad violins making each other cry.
Mushrooms working in the dark but giving it a try.
Near the open window, beans - small but cute :
Those classic wind instruments , the musical fruit.
Latin rumba from Caracas with coconut maracas.
French grapes can-can in chorus;
Smiling bananas can’t-can’t, but just enjoy the scene.
Tangos with an Argentine tangerine.
Mangos mounting melodies on drums in Afrikaans
Peas piping on piccolos for an Italian folk dance
Rushing polka dots in a Russian borsch whirl.
Oyster shell castanets for a Spanish flamenco girl.
Asparagus dessed in ballet shoes always on tips,
And of course as always, Rose shaking her hips.
All rhythmic foot-tapping fruit
Forever looking for a new recruit.
