nutty nuts

almonds
pistachios and cashews
I look at you with longing
macadamia I thought was a country
until I tasted it
my heckles rise with hazelnuts 
walnuts are my brain food
pecans I tasted only once
peanuts are ubiquitous
pine nuts I have by the handful
apricots are appropriate sweetners

"dreamy, creamy, yummy drive me nuts"

    Here's a nice little haiku/senryu tucked into your poem

    macadamia
    I thought it was a country
    till I tasted it

    A classic 5-7-5 at that.

    Very creative, Gautami! I think you've also set a good, healthy example with your love of nuts.

    (You're nuts about nuts! LOL!)

    Nice 55!

    Well that made me hungry. I cook with all the varieties you used in your poem. I agree with Bill on that neat little 'haiku/senryu tucked into your poem'. It was fun to read. Thanks.
    Regards,

    Macadamia does sound like a country. That could be Hawai'i where they abound. Fun poem.
