| Blooming Onion - Pioneer Woman |
Oh, sweet onion, why do you make me cry
peeling your silky layers, wiping my eyes
cutting pieces of you and I….
I look out my window the roses in bloom
longing to smell their heady perfume
but, here I am inhaling pungent fumes
You should be a blooming desert flower
I’ll transform you, soak you for an hour
batter and fry you, dip you in sauce sweet & sour
Your delicate petals will surely be devoured
on lips you will leave smiles, oh, sweet flower

What a sweet flower of the sweet onion. Love your take!
ReplyDeleteAnother delicious take! Lovely imagery of battered and fried goodness. Onion rings, blooming onions, they're kinds I like.
ReplyDeleteA poem of culinary transformation, if you can't be with the one you love - love the one you're with...
ReplyDeleteThe onion's revenge.
ReplyDeleteYou captured the versatility of the humble onion in your poem and turned it into something beautiful.
ReplyDeleteGood one! I heard you can also air-fry a battered onion but I haven't tried it yet.
ReplyDeleteYour tearless onion looks much prettier than mine!
ReplyDeleteHeh. Great job. Made me smile.

This was a treat to read as you embraced the challenge of turning a pungent vegetable into something fabulous. Nice take on the prompt.
ReplyDeleteOooo, I want some of this onion! You got my tastebuds going with this poem!
ReplyDeleteA poem to get one's taste buds stirring........onions in sweet and sour are lovely.
ReplyDeleteA great ode to the blooming onion!
ReplyDeleteOh yes, I remember the blooming onion dish. One's a meal, I still love them. But I don't eat much fried food anymore, cholesterol problems and meds for me. I can't remember when the last fried onion ring I ate was, I vowed to eat the onion rings raw as the come off the bulb. Same for donuts, I haven't eaten one since 2013. But I will eat an apple fritter.
ReplyDeleteA nice poem.

I like the comparison of onion bloom and scent to roses. I might be craving just a bite now. 🙂
