Feast of Poetry

[alpharaposa]

Today, I am sending out invitations for a feast of poetry! I have volunteered to cook one dish for each of you. All you have to do is ask.

The rules:
1) Give me ingredients! Either three words for a theme, or a link to an image or video. Please keep words and links PG13.
2) Give me a recipe! Tell me what kind of poem you want. It can be as simple as a rhyming couplet, or as complicated as a sonnet.
3) One per person. Spread the word if you know somebody who would like their own creation!
4) Share! You can reprint or link to the poem, simply give me credit and link to my journal, please.

You can request a sonnet for your favorite lolcat, or a haiku for a sunset. Silly or serious. I promise to do my best.

I'm opening requests now, before I go to work. I won't start making poetry until tonight, when I get home. Please be patient- good food takes time.

Edit: And requests are closed! Thank you for those who commented. I'll be working on your poems in order.

I tried to write something serious and mystical, and it wasn't working. So instead of sweetbread, you get Jell-O!

The Visitor

While swimming in the sea one day,
I chanced upon a spotted ray.
He swam across the sandy bottom
Like a leaf adrift in Autumn.

"Hello," I said, "And how do you fare?"
He gazed at me with piercing stare.
"I've been by Venus just last night,
And sailed here on the morning light.

"Tomorrow I'll fly in Jupiter's ocean
To meet my wife." Then with swift motion,
He left me wondering by the bar,
His speckled back stained with stars.

You're right. This would be awesome with illustration, especially as a splash showing the different environments described.
