My challenge response to Colleen Chesebro’s #Tanka Tuesday poetry challenge; synonyms only. The two words colleen has given for the challenge are fancy and idea. Without using the words but using only their synonyms, I have written a Tanka poem:
One Bite
I had a notion
To cook a grandiose meal
For my ex-lover
One bite of lace-like latkes and
He would aim to undress me
-LT
Feel free to join in the challenge. Have fun with words.
Have you ever cooked for someone with the idea of seduction?

I once made a Snicker’s Pie for a boy. He liked it.

April 16, 2020 at 1:33 pmNice poem, but I was wondering what were in those latkes 🙂 I’m thinking I might not be hungry.
lisa
April 16, 2020 at 2:28 pmHa! Nothing untoward, Jeff. They just taste a-m-a-z-i-n-g. The woman knows what he likes.

April 15, 2020 at 10:17 pmWell-done Lisa, you seem to be in a kind mood with an ex!! It would be better to cook eels for the one who chooses to be an ex 🙂 unless you still care for his seduction. I never would. …as slippery as an eel fits them well.
lisa
April 15, 2020 at 10:59 pmHaha! well said, Balroop. Although an ex-lover is not to be mistaken for an ex-husband… 😛 😀 😉
Slippery as an eel, very apt.

lisa
April 15, 2020 at 8:14 pmThank you! I wasn’t sure if I should put this under ‘humor’ as well. My hubs read it and laughed out loud.
Colleen
April 15, 2020 at 5:52 pmHi, Lisa! I love your Tanka! Well done! 😂❤️
lisa
April 15, 2020 at 8:15 pmThanks, Colleen! So glad you’re LOL’ing. I meant it in fun. But yeah, food does go straight to a man’s heart…or libido? Haha!!

April 15, 2020 at 5:19 pmThat was one tasty Tanka, lol. Well done Lis. I really have to get back into these challenges. Maybe next week. <3
Btw, wondering if you see my tweets. I just noticed when I share your post it doesn't tag yur @name at the end? xx
lisa
April 15, 2020 at 5:52 pmThanks, Deb. 😉 I hardly do challenges. This is only my second one. Good for my brain though.
Oh, that’s weird. My username should be at the end of the tweet but I’ll look into. Thanks for sharing my post!! xx
