A Pinch of Sarcasm, optional

From Rich:
Louise's cravings--
Pamela's ravioli
Will satisfy them

*Pamela's is a gluten-free flour mix

One
Pam'la wants to help
Behold: no plant proteins used
Intriguing options

Two
Internet reveals
This man is awash in dreams
She suffers no wheat

Three
Yet friends inspire
Dream the impossible meal
Control conditions

Four
Stuffed pasta it'll be
Chestnuts with sage and butter
Flavors of winter

Small Envelopes of Pasta

One
Ravioli mold
What a wonderful surprise
Was it re-gifted?

Two
Regardless of that
I have longed for such a thing
Italian won-tons!

Three
What's first on the plate?
Lobster? Cheese? Or walnut cream?
Too bad -- all with wheat

Umoja

On your life's journey
Take a moment, now and then
For silent off'rings

Ode to Chocolate

Mood elevator
60 percent cacao high
Ow! Blood sugar crash

Before and After

Comfort-food-coma
In Abbott, out Costello
Holiday five? Right!

Reflections (Christmas 2008)

One
Louise is writing
Haikus for that major lift
To get through the tide.

Two
Xmas morn arrives
Depression crept in cat like
What lifts this dark cloak

Three
Major fall, no light
Not a cry you hear at night
I’ve been here before

GoodEats:
Find peace within self
Tap into your inner strength and
Seek solace with friends.

Four
Solace in Solstice
Neg and Pos intensify
Clothe me in comfort

Jordie

Sobrina, a gift
Open book in mystery shroud
An impish surprise

Dinner Party (12-21-08)

One
Risotto, Squash, Pears
Eclectic mix of people, yes!
What a time, my friends

Two
Leslie: What to say?
Cyclic form of propulsion
Oar extracted from water

Three
Chair at the table
Gathered ‘round a plethora
A deep resonance
