The poetry of Croquettes and Crabcakes

The poetry of crabcakes
crafted by my hand
as they are apt
to stack like
stanzas and metaphors
but these frequencies
of the culinary are
assuaging the pangs
of the emaciated,
goodness gracious.

No licking of the screen for tastings.

Between a rock and hard place, hardly.

This Griot cooks –
a cookbook like no other.

The stories of a proud and mighty people.

The Glorious Ones – they refused to bend the knee or flee, they stood up.

Telling the stories that my Bigmama and Paw-Paw gifted to me.

Served up with a side of Salmon Croquettes, my Paw-Paw’s recipe.

The lessons imparted over a meal?

Echo loudly… and taste can activate what was once dormant.

Recipes are poetry and segues to power
