Chinese Noodle Soup
Is: soozly, soggly, 'shrooms and shrimp,
chickens and eggs-dropped,
skinny brown smooths,
snappyish peas
and humbles
tumbling
in hot
happy
broth.
These flinging drops of savory gold
might get me through
this droopy
night.
I spoon with slurps,
and sip with slips
my fine big bowl
of CoCo's
Chinese
noodle
soup.
Lovely alliterative play.*
A celebration of the small and delicious.
I love the structure and the images that come along. **
What Amanda said about the sonics. Great wit, too.

"Soozly" sets the tone and it's a snappish bowl for sure! *
Doc Seuss for adults. Sheer cheery delight. *
I'm hungry and this is delectable.*
I like mix of form - moving long (relative) to short. Good music in the phrasings and word choices.
Sounds delicious *

Faved - Who doesn't like a nice bowl of Chinese soup? Plus, I like the playful flow of it. Nice alliteration too.
