Vegetables of many hues,
Assortments from which to choose.
Chopped, diced, sliced, baked: you peruse!
Leeks, eggplant, squash, collards, stews.
Peppers, onions: you can’t lose!
Pot, pan or dish? Plain or bruised?
Braised, infused, herbed, spicy hot?
Read recipes! No excuse!
Note:
Today’s poem is a Welsh form called cyrch a chwta. Basic guidelines are as follows:
-octave or eight line stanzas
-seven syllables per line
-lines 1-6 and 8 share the same end rhyme
-line7 cross rhymes with line 8 (internally) on the third, fourth, or fifth syllable

Interesting poem scheme. I did figure it out. We had nice meals from all of these going back to summer.

I should try poetry, but I’m much more comfortable with prose.

Best of luck, Anne. I wrote you privately regarding “texting.” I am used to a regular keyboard and computer and type quickly. We are getting some snow this weekend. oxox

Ah, thank you dear Bette. We have more snow now and on the way with a winter weather advisory and winds of 40 mph. We love to watch the bird feeder and the colorful birds fighting for their chance at the seed. Be well and enjoy the week of brrrr. 💞
