I enjoyed your tercets form and learning a new vocabulary word with "genu". You made me hungry with all the food items, in the same way a recipe does! lol -Joan

A good try, but you really stretched on this one. Some of the rhyming was pretty bad, some verses made no sense to me, and the meter is all over the place. Sorry, it just didn't do it for me.

    I was attempting writing the 'recipe' all day. It was awful. The Diner was an I give up on NaPoWriMo for today. It's really just a scribble.

    Thank you :)

Go check out the diners and what do we find? Well, we can see life passing us by.
They came to eat or to dine but some unwilling followers just pass the time doing mundane things. The cook looks out the window hoping there will be some sales today for the home-made goodies.
A typical scene at the diners which we could find on the streets as well, perhaps.
Interesting write and entertaining to read, smiles.
Cheerio, hugs, Ritchie. :))

I like the scene you painted in this poem with the dinner and the people that make the diner lively. Nicely written for this continued writing endeavor and passion to write about any and everything. Thanks for sharing.

Eating in the diner brings back memories of the old diners like they show in the old movies on wheels always busy on the weekends selling roo beers

Sunni, I enjoy the practicality where you've captured the essence and the time with the variety of happenings during a diner's feeding. The difference of everyone and their quirks fit very well for your poem. Your poem was very illuminative and stimulating shows your inventiveness and creativeness.
This is an excellent free verse poem. Thank you so much for sharing and posting it. May the Lord be with you.
Alex

    It was probably because of that 70's sitcom... Alice and Mel. They made it look good. So I wanted to be a Charlie's Angel; Jacqueline Smith and WonderWoman's Lynda Carter. Dreams...

    Thank you :)

    I loved Jacqueline Smith! I think you're right! and Happy Days, ha ha!

This has that nostalgic feel of days gone by. I know, been there, done that. Nice rhyming throughout. You paint a very vivid picture of that diner. Well done! Les

I never thought that a poem could be framed for such a normal situation and you proved me wrong. I'm happy to be wrong for the first time. This poem characterized your level headedness and your love towords poem. Keep it up...

This is an interesting write. I found it strange in places, though. How can Cobb salad cheer? and at the end, what did you mean by, "Hold the cheese, and frown?" Other than that, this poem was well written. Good work, and God bless.

    The actress did not order the waffles. She ordered cobb salad. Imagine... a college vegan placing his order. Emotional/facial response received.

    Thank you
