Red cranberry sauce
sweet and tart--a bitter taste
another year gone

   What kind of cranberry sauce will you have this year?  Will it be the same as last year or different?  What other foods will be on your Thanksgiving table?

BURRITOS

I like the taste of burritos.
I think they are divine.
That's why you'll find me eating
burritos all the time.
One burrito, two burritos,
three burritos, four,
five burritos, six burritos,
seven burritos, more.
Happy eating.

Do you have a favorite food?  Or several foods?  What poems do you know that include foods?  Can you write your own food poem today?  Have fun.  

THE COLOR PINK

"Pink," she said.
With the softness of clouds
the fragrance of sweet peas,
the taste of warm watermelon.

Pink, the kindest of colors,
a flamingo dunking
to grasp a shrimp,
or the almost white
of galahs.

Pink is forgiveness
in soothing tones,
the soft nap of baby's blanket.

Pink wipes tears
from the cheeks
of the mean reds.


   Can you write your own color poem today?  What does the color make you thin of?  what music goes with your color?  Have fun writing your poem.
