Lovely Onion Cries -- a Poem for dVerse Poetics and Friday Writings
To the Lovely Onion
Lovely Onion, why do you cry
I'm the one who should be crying
Role to cry, not yours, 'til I die
You're so beautiful when you're sliced
Your rings gleaming with joy you serve
Crisp and ever kept when on ice
Your tangy taste brought to the fore
When you're breaded and brown and fried
Your lovers always cry for more
Healthy food you match so many
Vitamins, minerals and fiber
Salted for sodium and taste
Lovely onion, I see not you should cry
Lovers abound in this world you to try

I like your characterization of the onion as a lover that always leaves them crying. Very creative, Jim.
You make onions sound so enticing! They are delicious in so many ways.
lovely onion why do you cry perhaps the answer is in the reply. ~ Truedessa
These onions sound amazing! Thanks for joining in, Jim.
This is lovely Jim.

You have so anthropomorphised the onion Jim, as to make this seam faintly cannibalistic - tasty...
What a sweet sonnet to an onion, Jim!
Onions are great. A lovely tribute. Thanks, Jim.
A lovely ode to the onion!
A fabulous tribute to the humble but oh so tasty onion Lim 🙌
LOL... now I feel like eating fried onion rings..yum!!
Sautéed, baked, breaded/fried, raw, red, yellow, white ~ bring 'em on! Love this.
We love onions in every possible way in my house. Yum!
Yep you found that funny card image, one thing it's missing ~~ ME looking studious wearing glasses.
The aroma from your onions made me feel hungry! :-)
Makes me hungry for more onion rings deep fried - golden garnishing on top of rice or veggies.
