Oh, cheese!
yes, please.
ricotta’s creamy, blue is crumbly
as I write, see
cottage goes in my tummy.
Crackers are nice
with Colby jack, sliced
and grilled sandwich, can’t wait
for Swiss to ooze on hot plate.
Cheddar whiz is fine
atop cheesesteak, sublime
its bubbly goo
melts in my mouth, oooh.
Parmesan and romano
rock breaded chicken Italiano
or shredded atop-a
my bubbly lasagna.
Cheez its are a pleasure
in all kinds of weather
and even goldfish
deliver a kiss
of cheesy pleasure.
Even cheese from a can
in my mouth, it is grand
making decorations a bunch
on my sammie for lunch.
Oh, cheese, I love these
you make life a breeze
and make smiles alight
each time I take that first bite.

Wow! There is absolutely no doubt that you love cheese! And you did well with the cheese types and imageries of satisfaction from cheese.
Thanks Ofuma – and I purposefully did eat some cheese while I wrote it!
i read this on the night (australia time) – i loved it
I loved writing it- it was great fun!
I can taste the cheese! Well-crafted poem, and now I’m craving cheese
Thanks Daryl- I decided to eat cheese while I was writing. What a great inspiration!
I never did know of such variety except the hot oozing creamy cheese but this sure opened up new vistas!
You know, I can’t comment on all your poems, but I have read a good lot, and your rhyme and rhythm has inspired me to come out of free verse and explore.
Thanks! I just find rhyme helps me find flow. And often I find gems in the rhyme. Thanks for your input.
Thank you for this ode to cheese. I enjoyed it very much. Personally, I love cheese, but I am not supposed to eat it because it interferes with a medication I have to take. It’s grossly unfair and sometimes I eat it anyway (and pay for it the next day). I think you can understand me. I like the rhyme scheme as well.
Oh yes! Cheese me!
You really love cheese. I really like the way you put your rhymes together with the type of cheese. Very well done.
What a fantastic tribute to cheese! You make me miss it so much now!
