A Year Of Haiku (XXXVI): Dinner!

 


Of all the food groups,
the best may be fresh pizza
paired with a cold beer.

    1. Did someone say beer?
      The pizza is good; somehow
      beer enhances it.

    Chuckle western haiku about pizza.

    Haiku uses 5,7,5 syllables and expresses an emotion, place and time/season,

    Example (Bashō)
    On a withered branch
    A crow has alighted;
    Nightfall in autumn.

    For pizza perhaps:

    Hot pizza and beer
    lying in my lovers' arms
    Autum chill birds fly

    1. In Autumn's chill,
      hot pizza and a cold beer:
      Summer and Winter.

      Haiku can just as much be about evocative moments (verbal postcards) without time or season or even place:

      "Girl cat, so
      thin on love
      and barley
      - Bashō, 1644-1694

      "The nightingale:
      rephrasing itself,
      rephrasing itself again."
      - Fukuda Chiyo-Ni, 1703-1775

      One of my favorites:

      "Drawing swords in iai,
      they dodge each other
      with the swiftness of swallows."
      - Natsume Soseki, 1867-1910

  4. I don't consume beer
    Am lactose intollerant
    Alas, not in my cards

    1. We sometimes forget
      not all can join the fun:
      maybe a dessert?

      Dessert Pizzas, joy
      Chocolate mousse sugar cookie
      Happy wife with fork

    3. Happiness, they say,
      cannot be outright purchased:
      Dessert says "Try me".
