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
