SPICE OF LIFE

It’s Quadrille time at dVerse, and
Mish requests we feature the word
Spice, as always 44 words not including
the title.

Life's variety
Enhancing satiety
Spice makes our life worthwhile
A dash of curry
When in a hurry
Causes diners to smile  
Rosemary and cardoman
Nutmeg and cinnamon
Add to rank and file
Last of all thyme
Spices up my rhyme
Taking care of chyle

  3. You really did a fine mixing on this poem, part recipe, part paradox. I get a little lost when I encounter cooking-speak though.

  4. I liked the sound and sense of these two lines:
    "Last of all thyme
    Spices up my rhyme"

  8. A lovely rhythm and rhyme, Bev, like a little song to remember the spices.

    Yes, it certainly rhymes well putting a classic finality to something short and sweet!

  10. "Spice makes our life worthwhile"
    Yes, a little bit goes a long way. I think of the salt of the earth analogy too.

  17. It certainly had a lot of flavour, The nutmeg reminded me of making rice pudding.
