Yearning
Left Coast and I live on the East Coast!
Every day I dream of getting there again...one day.

Bursting with
Red goodness,
Every bite
A
Delicate symphony;
Aria of aroma.
Nothing compares.
Dreaming of
Meaty melodies
Enticing scents.
Apply
Tomato.

When an
Immediate burger craving
Meets a temporarily
Penurious financial situation,
You know what to say.

Buy me a burger, the
Urge will never cease
Rare, any more cooked is criminal
Give me melted cheese on that
Eat it, I will and
Repeat often!

Hot off the grill
Add some catsup on top
Moist and delicious
Bun to hold it
Unless I am full, I will eat two
Real tasty
Great for lunch
Eat them whenever I can
Real crowd pleaser

Thank you!

Recipies,
Everybody has one, but
Doubt that
Mine can be topped
Even if your dad is a butcher
Add to a pound of premium ground beef
Three tablespoons of worstershire, carmelized
Onion and some bleu cheese, but
Not too much, enough for three patties
And throw them on a hot grill 'til they're almost
Black on the outside and slightly
Undercooked in the middle
Now that's good eatin'

Cannot live without
Her…
Every time I say “love”
Evokes
Something
Else:
BURGERS! I LOVE CHEESEBURGERS!
Ultimate union of beef (juicy) cheese (gooey) bun (squishy)
Red, round, ridiculously right
Girl, I got to
Eat!
(Raises cheeseburger to mouth)

Heaven on a bun
Another one just cause the first tasted so good
Mary love of god ... are you putting what on that burger
Broiled over an open flame, cause we love the smoke
Unbelievable as a first bite, Sad and missed as a last bite
Right off the grill, juices running down your chin
Grinning ear to ear with that meat juice shiny smile after the first bite
Every bite is a great expierence
Ready for one more (the greatest words my dad ever said)

My submission is a trio of haiku:

Hot sizzling meat
Aroma from Heaven
Made to order

Backyard grilling joy
Urban high cuisine
Recreational imperative

Ground red meat
Eaten with joy in heart
Religious experience

Hearty
And
Meaty
Best
Used
Really
Getting
Epicurian
Rapture

America's great grub
Meat perfectly seared
Envy of all pizzas
Roads bloom with them
In every corner
Cheese has no better friend
A hamburger today

Cyprus sure, cheddar pure, purrrrr
Hot juicy halloumi
Effluence
Enticing me
Succulent meat sizzle
Excitement
Bubbling within me
Unctuous
Ribald
God it's good
Every time
Really
