Pizza night, a mirror cinquain

On bed

Of melted cheese

Lie crushed red pepper seeds

Be careful which slice you proceed

To feed.

The burn

On my tongue satisfies hunger

Pains, keep me yearning for…

More flavor and

Water.

For Colleen Chesebro’s #TankaTuesday #TheSpiceofLife #Poetry challenge No. 309

      I don’t usually add red pepper flakes to my pizza, but I had to try it for the sake of this poem. LOL. It was quite yummy! Thanks for reading, Luanne! I hope you can grab yourself a slice of pizza today. πŸ™‚

      Thank you, Gwen! They always give us so many packages of red pepper flakes with the pizzas, so I had to go with it. (My husband is the one that loves the spice, but I tried it for the sake of the poem LOL).

      Hahaha, the funny thing is I don’t usually eat red pepper flakes (my husband on the other hand loves them), but I had to try for the sake of this poem LOL. Thanks for reading, Yvette! πŸ™‚
