For this one, a friend of mine specifically requested a poem about ramen – so here we go, but since I just wrote a recipe poem for 7 – I’ll have to do something different for 8.<\/p>\n

Poem 8: An ode to Ramen:<\/p>\n
This is my ode to Ramen – fancified:<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Whenever the grey clouds begin to<\/p>\n
settle in within my heart and somehow<\/p>\n
won’t actually reach the skies around –<\/p>\n
I watch howl’s moving castle and<\/p>\n
eat ramen. Fancified by laziness<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
with diced vegetables, fresh cheese,<\/p>\n
heavily spiced chicken, and cracked eggs<\/p>\n
soaked in water hot enough to create a<\/p>\n
broth out of anything – be it mustard or<\/p>\n
honey or more seasoning than the chicken.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I curl up in fuzzy socks two sizes too big<\/p>\n
and sweatshirts with way too much history<\/p>\n
for any inanimate object to deserve in full.<\/p>\n
I stare out the window at the real world and<\/p>\n
everything else that happens without me.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
This is my ode to Ramen and all the people<\/p>\n
I’ve ever shared it or the cloudy days with.<\/p>\n
