An apple a day
Keeps the doctor away
So they say
But what about a banana?
Or big fistful of blueberries?
Or cup of Greek yogurt?
Or 2 cups of soy milk?
Or 2 tablespoons of whey protein?
Or maybe all of them combined?
I don’t know
But that’s what I’m consuming
Daily in a big and tasty smoothie
To keep the doctor away
Or at least keep them at bay
Banana broken inch long
Fistful of mixed berries
Seven grape tomatoes
Enough soymilk to cover banana
Cricket protein powder optional
Wait…
That FUCHSIA smoothie recipe
It looks like my modern poetry
It reads like my modern poetry
It is like my modern poetry
Could I include these recipes
As poems of my modern poetry?
Why not?
It is about me
It is about my life
It is about an experience
It can elicit emotional response
At least the cricket powder could
I also compose these recipes
Not just create them
Considering what I have
What might go well together
And what might be good for me
Not too unlike my poems
So yes
Why not?
Why not include these recipes
Among my modern poetry
If readers don’t like the latter
They might at least like the former
