Birthday Party

food 1 Minute 
A flower of bread
brown rolls risen against each other,
wooden petals of the deodar

And on the stove 
four glistening pots huddle
winter soup's quiet breath

Wedges of cheese, yellow and thick
the talk over sticky date pudding
clustered verbs and violets

We all walk in the dark. But if we hold hands, perhaps the dark won't be as scary.

  3. The imagery in this is so luxurious–I just want to wade around in it for a while.

    “And on the stove
    four glistening pots huddle
    winter soup’s quiet breath…”

    You can’t get much better than this (and it’s very haiku-like, too). Nicely done! 🙂
