A chicken in the pot with leeks, Italian parsley,
carrots, celery, thyme and peppercorns.
Balm for the ragged throat.

I binged on pears today at Whole Foods:
one comice, one bartlett, one d'Anjou, one bosc,
one red and four seckels, also known as "sugar pears."
I'll put the red in a salad of romaine, sliced celery,
toasted walnuts and a blue cheese vinagrette.
The rest will be honey on the tongue!

  3. rk -- re: poetry bus: about a million years ago. Let me see -- I'm guessing about 1995.

    Have you tasted seckel pears? They are crazy $$ but they are tiny so you can buy one or two and that flavor can just explode in your mouth....I stood in the pear department at WF today and inhaled for a while. Heaven.
