My husband likes it cold. I prefer it warm to hot
moist, tart and gooey. The crisp of the flesh as I sink
my teeth down in. Savoring
the flaky delicate crust.
I inhale the ripe, sweet
odor a hint of nutmeg?
cinnamon? Carefully
blow, it may burn my
mouth. And yet, the pain
would be worth it. I
consume the Pink Ladies
with sweet whipped cream &
a bit of cheese sometimes feta or
maybe some cheddar. There is a
sweet perfection in this moment. As I
Brian at dVerse made an interesting observation; that we write appealing to our sense of sight. He asked us to write to our other senses. Since this year all of March is Pi month, and tomorrow is Pi day (3.14) I thought it an excellent opportunity to write about one of my favorite food groups. Y'all know the four food groups? Pie, Sweet tea, Fried Things, and Chocolate. I did cheat a bit, though, but I wanted to see if I could write in this shape. Yay! If you aren't finding me through the dVerse linky, then why not pop on over and check out some of the other awesome submissions. (Anna's is scary and sad...I highly recommend it!)
You know, I just had a conversation with someone about cheese on apple pie. I've never tried it! Pink Ladies I love though. And this poem. So neat the idea of pi and that you've incorporated that into the shape.
ReplyDeleteHi Linda! Welcome to the lasagna. Pink ladies are wonderful apples. They don't seem to bake up as crisp as Granny Smiths, but so very yummy. Cheese is very nice with apple pie. A lot of people prefer cheddar, but I also love a little feta. Thank you for the visit!
Deletehmmm nice.. love me some homemade apple pie.. cool on the form as well.. and i prefer it hot as well when it comes to...pie..you know...smiles
ReplyDelete:) Thanks, Claudia!

Deletemmmm i would def be down for pie...and i am indiscriminate...i will eat it hot or cold....smiles...thought too...i think i close my eyes when i put a bite in my mouth...ha...to savor the taste...
ReplyDeleteHey Brian! That's pretty cool, I close my eyes too and didn't even think about that while writing this. Hey, I was more on prompt than I thought! :)
Delete:) Well done!
ReplyDeleteHi Ayala Thank you!
DeleteI love apple pie and now I want some. Interesting format (how'd you do that?).
ReplyDeleteHi Laurie! I think I need to make another one soon. I had originally inserted a picture of an apple pie with a Pi cutout in the crust. Then I thought it would be fun to write the poem in the shape of pie and used the picture as a guide. Basically, I just wrote and used the space bar... a lot.
DeleteGood to read this while eating.. I would have became hungry otherwise
ReplyDeleteHi Bjorn! I did have to go eat another piece after I finished writing. :)
DeleteThe goodness of apple pie! One need not see but to savor whole. Nicely Heidi!

ReplyDeleteHi lucychili! Apple pies are easier than I thought then would be.
DeletePi-nominal. Phenomenal! :) ~
ReplyDeleteHi grapeling! I see what you did there:) thank you!
DeleteI find the notion of Pi Day intriguing. Along with the pie punning that goes on. I like your creation here.
ReplyDeleteHi Ally! I'm so happy to see you here! I love a good pun, and if food is involved, so much the better!
DeleteDeelish!
ReplyDeleteHey Mosk! Thank you!
