I enjoyed reading out loud the two languages, but I've most likely murdered the German. Still it was fun to hear about your favorite foods. Thank you for posting.

ReplyDeleteThank you, Isha, for the following-- Yes it is, as you say, light-hearted poetry, turning words into delicious sounding food and I am sure most readers will thoroughly enjoy with the exception of a few who are vegetarian and wouldn't dream of eating what they consider to be dead food. But it should make them laugh as well nevertheless. Good one from these two poets.
Sincerely,
Isha Wagner
Thank you Isha and Karen! It was a fun to write especially in three languages!
