Food. Ah! Both the pleasure and the bane of our existence! Many poets have written about food, both seriously and with humor. Perhaps the humorous angle can lead us into more serious contemplation. That is my observation.

The first section of poems is titled Silliness. It begins with the title poem, "The Obstinate Apple." An apple that would not let someone eat it. Really? True story. Many of these silly poems come from experiences with children who are prone to playing with their food.

Ever think you could learn something from food? Next, we venture into Simple Life Logic, where food can reach out with a bite of life lived along the way.

And finally, if you are up to it, food can actually do a little Sermonizing. Here are poems that emphasize Biblical truths. These poems will give you something to chew on.
