Here, your pound of flesh:

A marbled, ruby ribeye

Carved fresh off the bone.

All butchers should be required to speak in haiku. This is so unexpectedly lovely.

Cobwebs cling to bone

A dank cellar, butcher’s keep

Where his bloodlust grows

Haiku ----

“Lovely time of year

For a woodsy meat and greet,”

Said the starving bear

I love it!!! I decided a long time ago that when I’m ready to die I’m going to go out into the forest and hug a bear.

I just really want to hug a bear... but I also know it will be the last thing I ever do🤷‍♀️

I just wrote a sonnet about meat on my 'stack. These are my favorite lines, though sorry not in haiku form...

Roots, ribs or rice, no one cares what you eat

Ignore all the tasteless scolds when they bleat

About canceling the scourge known as meat

For those who cheered the turn of the food screw

Prepare for spice, you’re first on the menu!
