“Simple Salad” Tanka 209

Watermelon cold

enough that it hurts your teeth;

feta; red onions,

 

lime juice, salt, crushed red peppers

and candied tangerine peel!*

 

*(canola or olive oil if you must; sub. basalmic {real! so use just a few drops, possibly mixed in with the lime juice?} if you like. I have yet to try oil-cured black olives – pitted if you like your guests – but with the feta cubes, why not?)

“A Meal Deal”

Been hunting for just

the right worm for my apple

to complete the meal.

“Oh, ‘Lambchop,’ Thou Wer’t Fine!”

After eating all

Shari Lewis’ not-puppets,

Granny Smith dessert~
