There's nothing like a burnt chop or an overdone sausage or snag, with the tomato sauce running down one's chin, such joy, I suppose one could term it "orgasmic" bur nevertheless, beautifully written entry, well done, blessings Roy

Welcome
Comment from JoannaN
This poem reminds me of one of my favourite tv series, namely Desperate Housewives. The protagonists used to spend a great part of their time organizing parties and barbecue, and one of the greatest pastime of their lives was gossiping :) I like the phrase "barbecued gossips".

Comment from Ulla
It's probably true in many cases, but not something I had taken part of really. I liked your poem and I can only feel sorry for those who have nothing else to do. All best,
Ulla:)))

Comment from Douglas Goff
The end notes definitely explained the word orgasm, because I was clueless. I was thinking "Carnivores getting luck tonight!"
Great photo and coloring. Now that I get it, this is very unique and funny
Thanks for sharing!

Thanks again Doctor Ricky. Reviewing my poem is more than enough and the five stars is a bonus.
Comment from Frank Malley
"Kitchen Tattles" could be named something better; maybe "Hot Red Cutlets" would work, although it may be too suggestive. And the poets explanation names gossip at a barbecue as its topic, but it isn't addressed in this 5-7-5 poem. I think the poet failed to think through her central function in this poem.
I think line 2 would be better as " weave cutlets to orgasm." And for line 3, 'barbecued mouthfuls,' keeping the sexual overtones more present, and sacrificing the somewhat incomprehensible "gossips." I think the author needed to think more carefully about what she wished to accomplish. This poem highlights barbecued food, not the guests who enjoy it. But - that topic is certainly doable:
Sizzling meats each/skewered on rigid bamboo/ Spur non-food comments.
This one doesn't really suggest gossip adequately; maybe 'Spur guest wives comments.'

I would hope that most fun gatherings are among good friends and not the neighborhood gossips, but I do understand that this world is filled with all kinds. Your words described the saddest version but it accomplished it well.

I guess some do, but fortunately most barbecues here are fun family events. Nevertheless your words are carefully chosen to incorporate your theme, and you have done it effectively.
