Cold Pizza

...a haiku

Cold Pizza

 

 

sitting on the floor

cross legged playing solitaire

no spades, cold pizza.

 

Author's Note

I have this thing for eating cold pizza. There. I put it in a haiku!

i actually like eating cold pizza as well...it is great...and you brought me back with this one...I made pizzas for 30 years back in the seventies, eighties and nineties...worked at the same place for 27 of them...
good combo you have here with the solitaire.

Wow, 30 years...that's fascinating! I've always found it amazing the toppings people will order. I'm easy. If it has cheese, I'm good! Thanks, J!

[jacob erin-cilberto]

and i eat anything on pizza except olives...
so many combos are good...try pineapple and garlic sometime....that is amazing.

[Kelly Scheppers]

I'll take mushrooms, onions and red peppers...love pineapple, but I'm with you on the olives...no anchovies, please!

[jacob erin-cilberto]

one of my ex girlfriends got exactly that on her pizzas...mush, onions and red peppers...but my second ex wife turned me on to the pineapple/garlic...and i have to admit...i like anchovy...especially anchovy and tomatoes as a combo...:)))))

[Kelly Scheppers]

Can I get you to make an estimated guess of how many pizzas you made in the time you worked there?

[jacob erin-cilberto]

i couldn't begin to estimate...we were a very busy place especially on Friday and Saturday nights...and after ten when we had slices...i often had four ovens full of pizzas. with 8 in each....at least...
so i was a busy boy...i generally worked the ovens...and enjoyed it so much the busier it was.
:))))

i will let you know what he thinks when i get hold of him...is that your pic?

[Kelly Scheppers]

Ok, J. No, that's not mine.

Lunch was all kings and Queens for me, my pizza was HOT, but I know just what you mean :P

[Kelly Scheppers]

...extra cheese? Can there ever be enough cheese on a pizza?

[Gypsy Warrior Queen]

:) NEVER!..

Gorgeous simplicity. Vivid imagery.
Day old cold pizza is the best.

Somehow i see you holding it flippantly by the crust studying your next move. 😊

[Kelly Scheppers]

That first bite really is the best...my taste buds are doing their happy dance! Thanks, Matt!

[Coyote Poetry]

I like cold pizza too. Sort of a relaxing food. Nice use of words dear Kelly. Pizza and beer. Perfection.

[Kelly Scheppers]

Good combo, John! Thanks so much!

[Coyote Poetry]

You are welcome dear Kelly.

[Dara]

I know someone who especially likes cold pizza for breakfast and why not? It has all the basic food groups. :-) Love this fun haiku, Kelly!

[Kelly Scheppers]

You're absolutely right, Dara. Plus, you can eat it with your fingers!

When I took my toddlers to a new Pediatrician many moons ago,
he advised me to not worry that my children would not eat their veggies.
He said he had five kids and all they ate was Pizza. My hubby and I eat
Pizza to this day... his with anchovies and mine with mushrooms and green peppers.
Always after a game of Strip Poker. truly, Pat

[Kelly Scheppers]

It's a welcomed meal in my house, anytime of day. Thanks, Pat!

Lol....it’s a wonderful image!!! I have to heat mine up. You capture a wonderfully honest moment perfectly.

[Kelly Scheppers]

I think you're in the majority group...I'm the minority. Good to see you, friend!

[Crowley]

I’m not much of a leftover person.

[Kelly Scheppers]

I can never get the two straight, but I'll make a note of the "nature" part! Thanks for the heads up, Gene!

[Einstein Noodle]

i can't tell you how many times i have looked it up ;} mmmmmmmmm tasting cold pizza again right now :)

[‘Thoughts In Time..]

Hopefully theres lots of hearts- nothing better than being deliciously comfortable in your own skin wherever it may be - the small things that make the heart humble🌹

[Kelly Scheppers]

...thank you!

[R.E. Ray]

I’ve never smoked a cigarette, but I suddenly want an unfiltered Camel and a slice of cold pepperoni pizza, a little extra spicy. Striking haiku with a perfectly paired photo. Love it!

[Kelly Scheppers]

It was hard coming up with an avatar that was fitting, so I really appreciate the feedback. Thanks so much, Robert!

[jacob erin-cilberto]

but getting back to the poem...
i like how you worked this analogy to being alone...the day after maybe having pizza with a another person...and then having it be just a one night stand...or one date and done...and then being back to being "solitary playing solitaire.."
and eating the leftovers from the previous night's date.
well done...crispy....

[Kelly Scheppers]

Now that's just the coolest of all analogies! Thanks J!
