- travel writing -

Although there are only a few stories and articles at the moment, I will be regularly updating this section as I get around to it. Although mainly concerned with travel-related topics, I will also put in a few that do not fit the travel mould, just for variety.

In the meantime, how about a bit of cullinary poetry?

LASAGNE

the smell wafts
through my house
wine tomatoes
basil and thyme
lava pot
on the stove
erupts under the lid
nose twitches
stomach growls
tongues salivate
the scent permeates
each room
our clothes
our memories
of last weeks’
lasagne
