FIRST PLACE #15 #17
15
bacalao
memories of a place
I've never been
--BILL KENNEY
Votes: 531*** Points: 14
Notes: I haven't had saltfish since I was a kid; for us, it was Depression food, consistent with what you said about its history in your part of the world – a poor people's food that the rich have caught on to
Comment 1: Dreaming of possibilities.
Comment 2: This one evokes ancestral memories in such a succinct way.
Comment 3: I like the comparison of a dish/recipe as being a record or memory of a place

Votes: 721*** Points: 14
Comments: This reminds me of being in Italy during Lent ...many, many years ago.
SECOND PLACE

Mother's Day-
two old ladies exchange
saltfish recipes
--Rita Odeh
Votes: 44**** Points: 12
Comment 1: This made me think of my Italian Grandmother and her lady friends.
Comment 2: Funny:) I imagine it being a dish like mincemeat pie that's more partial to the older generation.

1
wet laundry freezes
on the clothes line in winter...
baccalà for lunch
--Pat Geyer
Votes: 4*1*** Points: 07
Comment 1: I would have given this one more than one point, except for two things—"freezing" rather than "freezes" would have made it an immediate observation rather than a statement, and "on the clothes line in winter" is a little verbose; maybe "on the winter clothesline". (I understand the poet chose 5-7-5 and my suggestions disrupt that pattern.) That said, I do love the juxtaposition of slabs of stiff laundry and slabs of salt fish.
Comment 2:I visualize a nice comparison of fish being hung to dry to the laundry on the line.

fjord cruise
the scent of salted fish
from the shore
--Marleen
Votes: 511*** Points:10
Comment 1: I am not entirely convinced that one could separate the smell of salt
fish from the smell of the ocean, but it surely is a lovely moment anyway.
Comment 2:I like the sirens lure from shore while only able to float on by.

salted fish and rice
the first time
I eat with my hands
--Christine L. Villa
Note from Christine: This haiku reminds me of our Filipino culture. Many Filipinos enjoy eating salted fish and rice with their hands. It seemed like a strange to me, but my very first experience was memorable. :-)
Seventeen poets took part in kukai #32; however only fifteen sent in votes; therefore a request for 2 guest voters was made at the CKK facebook group

ReplyDeleteOrganic rice may be cooked and eaten as a high-fibre, high-nutrition wholegrain, often called brown rice, or might be husked and then served as white rice, which is less nutritious and has no fibre content. Is rice a high or low gi food? A few rice families have distinct and attractive fragrances and flavours, but most basmati brown riceis chosen to be bland so it can be cooked, served and eaten as a filling accompaniment to tastier foods.
ReplyDeleteThough wild rice is technically the seeds of aquatic grasses, it’s popularly used like wild rice in the kitchen.It’s recognized as a whole grain and contains about three times more fiber and significantly more protein than white rice, making it a more filling choice.
