The next 26 days we will go through the alphabet as part of the A-Z challenge.

As this is the beginning, I want to start with an unfinished poem a là work in progress. What do you think? Where does the Ode not serve the overall piece? What did you like?
Ode to Apple

A magical sound
like bells on a tree.
This is your juicy cacophony
from the branches of excess.

We all want to eat you.
I’d kill just to feel you,
I want you – bad.

It makes me so sad,
when I wonder what it’s like 
to explore your world
from the out- and the inside.

I need to take a bite.

An Apple is lustrous and hard on the shell,
But open the cover and flimsy glimmers a light
On erratic lines – my fingers wild.

Varieties in shape and taste,
an Apple is a legend to the eye,
so Adam got one right away.

Delicious Apple
There’s only one way
to savour your sweet vitamins.

Finally, on this Special Sunday post, I present to you the amazing Mozzarella poem.

This week truly turns out to be a LOL-week (laughing-out-loud-week) on my blog. The pure purpose of this poem is to be fun. An Ode turns the attention to the small things in life that we rarely appreciate. For two years now, I have dedicated most of my daily nutrition intake to Mozzarella; life just tastes, feels and works better with the power-filled protein bomb. So it was time to honour its powers in a poem.

The Ode

Mozzarella, o Bella,
let your soft skin swim.

Let your resilient flesh buff.
Let the moist bubble run
out,

so that I can spot through the silvery glance
how beautiful you are.

I press the knife down
and your lump bends over
and tears through.

You
are
extendable
fun,
when you blister on my Pizza.

Please circle in endless tubes around my fork
before you lift to my mouth.

Squishy and
tattered.

I feel the gratitude
that you dedicate to me.

Mozzarella, oh Bella.
O beautiful you.

What would qualify for an Ode in your life?
