almonds
pistachios and cashews
I look at you with longing
macadamia I thought was a country
until I tasted it
my heckles rise with hazelnuts
walnuts are my brain food
pecans I tasted only once
peanuts are ubiquitous
pine nuts I have by the handful
apricots are appropriate sweetners
"dreamy, creamy, yummy drive me nuts"

Loved your 55 My Friend.
Pecans are my favorite!
Thanks for playing, and have a Kick Ass Week-End!
Very creative, Gautami! I think you've also set a good, healthy example with your love of nuts.
(You're nuts about nuts! LOL!)
Nice 55!
Well that made me hungry. I cook with all the varieties you used in your poem. I agree with Bill on that neat little 'haiku/senryu tucked into your poem'. It was fun to read. Thanks.

Lovely poem...almonds are my favorite...
I could eat a macadamia right now - if I had one! LOL
Never met a nut I didn't like! Great poem!
I love the litany--especially since I so enjoy most of them.
Ah, something else we share, nuts. Love em, even though I shouldn't indulge, I must.

Macadamia does sound like a country. That could be Hawai'i where they abound. Fun poem.
I like cashews...like you nutty poem here :)
Wonderful, nutty tribute. Good point: Macadamia DOES sound like a country.
I love nuts, and I think you're right, macadamia does sound like a country :)
