Seeing through rock



All you have to do is move your feet.  It's elementary.  Elemental.  Fundamental as carrots.  Cut them -- slice, dice, on the vertical, on the horizontal, releasing veins of carotene.  All of this from just looking through a rock for the inside of a poem.

Flower pot


You probably haven't thought of a cityscape from the perspective of a flower pot.  First you need to know that a flower pot's take on things is never singular.  A flower pot takes in all angles, height and depth.  Just see above.  What spills forth!

Now can you image how simple carrots see the baking tray and the ravenous mouth of an oven as they are put in to bake?

And how do the perfectly suited tango partners of paper and pen decide who leads?

Architecture. How is a poem constructed?

Does each poem’s floor plan differ? Is what is seen from a window never repeated?


About food, meal & words. The same are used though results never repeated. Which is to say, let’s celebrate the carrot’s uniqueness.

Martha. How does a word become a favorite?

Familiarity. Repetition. A siren for a narrative. By the way, is the opposite of proper noun, improper? Martha, by the way, has her own stories – 60 of them. Brief though they be and somewhat poetry-like.


About favorite foods. Carrots, of course. Versatile and highly-hued. Cut into a purple carrot, you become giddy. Why aren’t carrots on that favorite list?

Parboil cut carrots and then shock them. Add cut mushrooms, red/orange or yellow bell pepper slices, olive oil, lemon thyme, more fresh lemon, twist of black pepper. A splash of vinegar is possible. Feta cheese compliments. Place on a bed of fresh spinach. Happy New Year!
