What Kind of Salad Are You?

A poetic recipe for culinary self-knowing

Photo by Maarten van den Heuvel

Are you a niçoise? All polished and fine. Parading poshly, As a Parisian kind.

Or are you a Caeser? Pallidly seen, As kingly to others, While plain as can be.

Some days I am tossed, Tussled and torn, Juggling demands, And dealing with scorn.

Walk away Mr. Waldorf, I once dated you. Pretentiously judging, Everything that I do.

In some ways I’m pasta, Classic and fresh. Always understated, Humbly not presh.

My Spirit Salad’s coleslaw, From simplicity born; Reminding me daily, How I can transform.

Deconstructed I’m not, I think you will find. Seeking complex layers, Of a beautiful mind.

I’m a saladly misfit, Call me Unicorn Roo; The only salad to be, Is the one most like you.

Accepting a challenge/prompt from the wonderful Will Hull on his birthday. Always appreciating his poetic fun and friendship, and the opportunity to write for Rainbow Salad.
