Perk and Pleasantry

Ronda Larkin is a common mom with uncommon poetic perspectives.

 

Pasta from Within

 

I've always bought "Spaghetti," those noodles long and thin.

Today, I'm starting over:

I'm shopping from within.

 

Long and thin is not my style;  I'm short and somewhat wide.

"Mostaccioli" mirrors me;

And doesn't hurt my pride.

 

How about "Fusilli," when I'm feeling funny.

In summer, I'll buy little "Shells,"

(The beach just sounds so sunny).

 

"Rotelle," (wheels) for on the go;  "Rotini," when life's twisting.

"Bow ties" for the formal nights;

This change, I'm not resisting.

 

With new pasta choices, heartfelt meals, will be created.

For now, "Spaghetti's" out the door:

That long and thin, is overrated.
