Appetite Affair

“Bewitched by bread”

Appetite Affair

Adore apples
Bewitched by bread
Charmed by chocolate
Delight in doughnuts
Esteem eggs
Fall for fajitas
Go for grapefruit
Hold hamburger in high regard
Idolize ice-cream
Just crave jam
Kiss kasha goodbye
Love lava cakes
Mad for muffins
Nibble noodles
Over head and ears in love with olives
Passionate about peanut butter
Quest for quesadillas
Relish raspberries
Sweet on salsa
True to tomatoes
Unfaithful to upside-down cake
Venerate vegetables
Welcome waffles
X a meal? Never!
Yearn for yogurt
Zealous for zucchini

This is pure silliness. I wrote it for the prompt of “love” during the 2010 November poem-a-day challenge.

This poem is submitted to Poetry Friday, hosted today by the very Etsy, I mean artsy Robyn Hood Black.

**********************

An Abecedarian (or Abecedarium – according to John Drury’s Poetry Dictionary) is a poem that is arranged according to the alphabet. I composed the abecedarium above from a collection of roadside signs, store signs, even stuff written on vehicles that I noted on one of our trips from Langley to Kamloops B.C. (The gas price in the photo above isn’t current and *whew* are we glad for that! But that was the price in August 2008!)
