If you want to read some more poetry, Diane and Mimi of
Messymimi's Meanderings write wonderful, funny,
thought-provoking, ingenious and honestly well written verse. Go and
read.
Karen of
Baking in a Tornado
has joined us in this crazy pursuit, and promises us at least a poem a month -
may we hope for more!
SpikesBestMate
often publishes a nice verse in the comments, and helps out at topic
supplying.
Jenny at
Procrastinating Donkey
who has been a faithful participant, is taking a break due to her husband's recent passing from
this world. Let's continue to send warm thoughts, good energy, and lots of
prayers her way.
I have something more to ask of you: If you read this and the
poetry of others, would you please leave a comment. Half - if not more - the
fun of these challenges is receiving the responses of others.
Something on a Stick Day - once again we celebrate yesterday's thing.
This is a crazy thing to celebrate.
And my Poming mojo has hit an all time low.
But a topic is a topic, so here we go:
Candy on a stick - a lollipop
Meat on a stick - go chop-chop
Meatball skewer - a party treat,
Chicken skewers - we love to eat.
Ice on a stick - a delish pop
Mixed grill stick - a nice kebob.
Prawns on a stick - they pass the test
But sushi and sticks - the very best.

Smiling. Food on sticks is so often associated with treats which is I believe where the phrase 'heaven on a stick' came from.
SvarSletThgank you. This is one of them connotations things, that is so hard to get for non-native speakers. I had not connected those dots :) Heaven on a stick is new to me ... off to Google. Thanks.
SletNice one, Charlotte. I loved twist of the last line, and the photo meal looks delicious.
SvarSletThank you. Those sushi were very good. I have yet to see your poem. Hopefully it shows up some time later.
SletI guess all food can be on a stick when you think about it. I'm reminded of marshmallows on a stick and roasting them on a open fire - something I have never done but kind of want to do.
SvarSletHave a lovely day.
Roasting marshmallows is an art form ;) You'd better give it a try come summer. The taste changes dramatically, and I like my marshmallows raw, not roasted.
SletAnd you handled it brilliantly!
SvarSletThank you - I learned a lot from this.
SletWell done! Some of the best foods are on a stick at the yearly State Fair.
SvarSletI'd like to go there ... our fairs are not that creative stick-wise.
