Chilli Hot!

To the table I bring
 some zest and some zing;
a meal on a plate 
so please don't be late!
The food will impress, 
 as your tastebuds caress
the hot flaming spice
all flavoured and nice.
Now, don't be afraid
for it's zingfully made!


De, at dverse poets, has prompted us to pen a 44 word quadrille, which must contain the word 'zing' in some form or another.  Here's the link: Poems with Zing

  2. I enjoyed the jauntiness of the rhyming couplets, Carol, and the alliterative ‘some zest and some zing’.

    1. I must admit I don't like it too spicy as well. Thanks, Yvette!
