Feast of Poetry, 2!

Here is your invitation to my 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) You can 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. I won't start making poetry until tonight, when I get home. Please be patient- good food takes time.

EDIT: closing requests! So few!

Hi! I would like to request a poem about this picture of my guy and a kiwano melon: http://img132.imageshack.us/img132/5083/vincentwithkiwanomelon.jpg (his eyes are wonky because he has scarring over them from when he was a baby. Cat is fine and dandy!) I would like it to be a silly poem! He is a silly cat.

An epigram for an appetizer-

Carnivore's Lament
I love to settle down to feast
On bird or fish or dainty beast.
Alas, this meal is far too tame;
A melon's guts aren't quite the same.

Yay! Thank you! My roommate and I (and Vincent!) enjoy that a lot :D
