Haiku Lunchbox
When you're eating lunch, do you ever feel inspired to write three metrical phrases about it? Haiku Lunchbox looks like the beginning of a great site devoted to food poetry. So far there are only four entries, but I felt inspired to compose a fifth:
Salty meats, damp loaf
From jars of olive salad
Muffuletta, love

"Haiku Lunchbox" is a great name. I'll have to add this one to my RSS reader. I've been writing food poetry for my own blog for a while now, having food-related "poetry Tuesdays" whenever possible, but haiku has only made a couple of appearances.
My lunch today?
Peanut butter bed
Made for a tongue to lie in --
Such cold jellied sheets.

Fun! This gets added to the RSS reader. Here's my own contribution for my healthier throwback to my elementary school lunches:
Delicious sandwich
Healthy veggie chips abound
Is it lunchtime yet?

I wrote this one the day of the moon landing launch, 7/16/69, but it fits here:
The ripe sun that hung
From an unseen branch peeked through
The fleecy leaf-cloud
