The Beautiful Burger
Globular all around in its spherical majesty
a juicy chunk of meaty brilliance
with Moorish softness as above so below
like a rich vein of ore nestled between two tectonic plates
cushioned by delicious lava-like liquid
hot, sticky and ever so inviting;
sultry with promises of a smooth sliding ride
accompanied by virtuous, chaste vegetation
all natural in colour yet otherworldly in flavour;
a combination not of this world
yet created from the products of the rich earth
and lightly seasoned like the proud mountains;
by this sight shall it be known
an aroma to savour
of the impending flavour
to make the mouth weep in joy
and the heart beat boldly in ecstasy
affirming the life giving nutrients.
A dish formed over time, crafted and sculpted to perfection
- demolished in minutes with not even crumbs as witness.

And those of us that still like our meat with actual cow in holla out a hallelujah. 👍🏻

Hallelujah indeed. Though the ambiguity in the poem itself was because I like beef and chicken burgers, not really tried soy meat.

Don't try soy meat. It tastes like actual misery, and ain't nobody got time for misery. 😫

An interesting write on a gastronomic delight:) m'lord. It titillated my mind, now I want one, too.

I am not sure that is how titillation and the mind works, the best food is always homemade anyway: only you can create tailored perfection.

Juicy Write L.V. I DO believe You found a slice of Heaven!!!
It is an Art -such things aren't always given proper due-You certainly have here.
Do tell...Do You miss the English ketchup...or crave it from time to time?
Or do You prefer the Bastardized-American Ketchup?

I am an English Ketchup man, not the 'Catsup' of the Colonies. Yet I like a BBQ sauce from time to time when the combination is right. And the amber lava liquid has no place on the plate when I have a chicken burger; for that is where mayonnaise takes pride of place.
