Beauty and the bean

Sticking with the bean theme (sausage egg and toast to come... oh and bacon too)

 

Beauty and the bean

 

Unctuous, umber globules of paste

Savour the texture, savour the taste

From the moment the lid is removed from the can

Releasing an avalanche into the pan

The soft sucking squelch as the broiling absorbs

Warming the core of tomatoey orbs

Crisp toast is waiting to welcome the streams

Of delectable, flavoursome, beautiful…. BEANS

I love a lot about this, especially the lines:

The soft sucking squelch as the broiling absorbs
Warming the core of tomatoey orbs

The poem (like all the other of yours I have read) is witty and clever, but also has excellent language and imagery. That can sometimes get lost when the subject matter is humorous or frivolous, but I for one very much appreciate the wonderful way you have used language here.

Oh, and I meant to complement you on impeccable meter. It effortlessly trips off the tongue.

I think Heinz would be delighted to employ you in their marketing department:) You certainly do justice to canned beans like no other. Not even my grandson !! Thank you for another smile today Gill.

Thankyou, I may just send a selection to Heinz and see what they think!

[Chris Shaw]

Ha! You never know :) Are you contemplating a triology :)

[Gill Fitzpatrick]

I have a plethora!

[Chris Shaw]

Even better:) A book of beans no less :)

What a mouthwatering poem, plus am laughing and trying not to drool at the same time. Many thanks for sharing not only a fine vocabulary but quite a few smiles!

[Gill Fitzpatrick]

Thankyou, I'm glad it made you smile

[emmajoygreen]

Smiles are always better than those wet things, don't you think!

I like beans; healthy, good side dish.
I like your analogy of releasing an avalanche.

[Gill Fitzpatrick]

Thanks, I was pleased with that analogy too.

You are welcome 😊
