Haikus From The Kitchen

By Heather PattonPublished 3 years ago 1 min read

Family

Stirring, chopping, laughs

Melding flavors, sharing love

Family kitchen bond

...

Spice and sweetness blend

Diverse ingredients unite

Family harmony

...

Memories simmer

Generations in the mix

Nourished by family

Food

Boiling water flows

Pasta strands dive in to swirl

Al dente, complete

...

Savory sauce poured on

Simmered to perfection now

Pasta dressed for feast

...

Fork twirls, mouth waters

Satisfied sighs, dinner done

Grazie for this treat

Fun

Stained plates and bowls,

Remnants of a satisfying meal,

Dirty dishes await.

...

Suds and bubbles fly,

Cleaning away the grime and grease,

Pristine dishes gleam.

...

Empty sink, clean plates,

Satisfaction in the simple,

Dirty dishes no more.

About the Creator

Heather Patton

I can usually be found reading a book, anything from SciFi / Fantasy Adventures to Paranormal Romance. I love writing, DMing a small tabletop D&D gaming group, and playing video games with my husband and two sons.
