Flaky sudden death poetry

I probably have not done one of these in about nine months.
The basic words are flake, odd, goofy, peculiar, wacky
When I read the word flaky
Pie crust crosses my mind
Odd that I should always think of food.
Oh, and coconut flakes are really good.
Others might think of flakes of snow,
Fluffy is another snow word, you know
Odd, again I think of food
Fluffy pancakes are really good.
Recipes strike me in a peculiar way
"I want to make this!!" I excitedly say
Pizza Bread that is really cheesy
And Wacky Cake so super easy.
Peculiar ingredients, bring 'em on,
I'll cook them up and then they are gone.
Goofy foods can be just great,
Especially served on a fancy plate.
No matter how unique we are,
Love of food is what we share.
Food is pleasure, food is guilt.
Food is how our health is built.

Thanks. I am sure glad that thinking about food does not give me blood sugar issues. Just eating it.

Thanks. I have to be in the mood and relaxed, but then it is so much fun.

Love this poem Heather. You really have a cute way with words and is really is true as well ..food is what we call have in common. It is great that something we all need can also be so creative.

When I took my social services training for nursing homes that is one thing we discussed. When we are not able to enjoy other things, we turn to food. I like playing with words.

@GardenGerty I like all the random directions people take, places I never even suspected would be able to be with the words given

I enjoy doing them. I used to write a lot of poetry a million years ago. I enjoyed a few years back working with third graders who would have assigned topics and forms for poetry.
