RonovanWrites Weekly Haiku Poetry Prompt Challenge
♥
Hello! Welcome to my blog! I have to admit that when I read the prompt words for this week’s Haiku Friday, Love and Last, I was in a weird sort of mood. Once in a while, I get in a goofy, laugh at everything, I want to play and joke around mood, and that’s the kind of mood I was in when I wrote this week’s haiku. I was also starving after hours of writing and I wanted to celebrate because the writing went well. So I celebrated with––you guessed it––food.

Ebullient Eating

I love leftovers
Sometimes the last morsel is . . .
the most succulent

After I satisfied my belly my mood changed . . .

YOU♥

Twinkle above in the night sky
One shines the brightest

Do you believe in true love? Are you in love?
Do you enjoy leftovers? What are your favorite leftover foods?
♥♥♥
Brilliant – makes me laff! Wonderful take on this week’s words.
I’ve said quite a lot about love recently it seems: https://daffodilwild.wordpress.com/2015/03/07/what-would-love-do/
Now let’s see, left overs – I love the remains of an Indian Take-away next morning, for breakfast and to pick away at Christmas Dinner for days afterwards – yep, they are my favourites.

Hi! I’m so glad you enjoyed it. Hmmm. It seems to me like someone’s been bitten by the love bug. 😉
I love indian food but I don’t get it often. Perhaps because we have so few Indian restaurants where I live. When we do get it, we never have any leftovers. 😦 I do the same with our ‘Thanksgiving’ dinner leftovers. 😛

True love does exist, Vashti. I found it many, many years ago and I’ve kept real tight of it since then. I dare not open my hands incase it flutters off and leaves me for good.
Leftovers are a real treat. We have Bubble & Squeak quite a lot. Have you heard of it?

You say the nicest things about me, Vashti. Thank you 🙂 ❤
Bubble and Squeak is made form all the left over potatoes and vegetables from a roast dinner. You mix them all together and then mash them up with a potato masher, before frying it gently until it is hot and slightly crispy on the outside. I enjoy eating my Bubble and Squeak with lots of HP Brown sauce.

That’s a great idea, Hugh. I never know what to do with the leftover potatoes and veggies after a roast. I’m going to try this next time. Thank you! Bubble and Squeak it is! 😀

I love how the photos complement the haikus so well!! And the haikus – one made me laugha and the other made me cry. The second one reminded me of my maternal grandmother who passed away last year – she would be the brightest star for us 🙂

Vashti, even this light-hearted foodie Haiku made me think seriously.
Leftovers initially are part of a very different recipe. When many such leftovers combine to form a new tasting meal, it brings forth goodness of all these put together, both in taste as well as nutrition.
I sometimes use leftovers to make a quick quiche`, pies, baked layered rice and Indian stuffed bread called parantha or stuffed chappati.
I’ll write a full article on leftovers…:)

You’re such a thinker, Alka. I like that. I believe you’re absolutely right. I’ve done similar things with my leftovers. I’ve made ‘croquetas’ and ’empanadas’ with leftover turkey after Thanksgiving Day. 🙂
