A pot on the fire
flames matching my ire
albuca and potatoes
with a stirring of tomatoestonight we sup for eternity
bella donna for modernity
salt and pepper a must
O! life at a costhemlock leaves burn
a flavour so sweet
masking stomach churns
as we sup eternal sleep

Today Björn hosts Poetics at dVerse and invites us to use the names of poisonous plants. Perhaps in a recipe..?

An ex-colleague of mine was once on Come Dine with Me, which came a s a bit of a surprise. But not as much of a surprise as your dangerous ingredients, Viv! The rhyming is like a spell.
