I love your man in this rhyming poem. Someone might say he's fixated on her cooking. I think that there are worse things to be fixated on. L O L I love the way you keep coming to the last line of each stanza with an adaptation built on these concluding words: "The way she cooks." From the beginning to the very end there was a rhythmic flow that captured my attention and peaked my interest. Thanks.

This is precious, my friend. I won my husband with a little bit of both, says he. He still loves me and loves my cooking. We cook and bake together now. A delightful poem and end to my reviewing day.

Good night! Enjoy your apple pie and sweetie pie!
Sal :))

I agree with this message and would add...A handsome man is nice to find but its not what makes my ground shake. Give me a man who can master the grill and give me a perfect rib eye steak. Nicely written and fun. Thanks for sharing.

This is an excellent poem proving the adage, the way to a man's heart is trough his stomach. Most women wouldn't find that very flattering. My cousin told he her husband told her once he was in love with someone else but he said I'm going to stay with you because you are a really good cook. I think I might have kicked him out at that point. You could have entered this one in the contest Poem about a woman.

    What a classless thing to say to one's wife. You of course are free to think that, but you never have the license to say it where she can hear it.

You rarely post while you support so many of us and I'm so happy to have a six still when you posted today! Yes, when love is the main ingredient of anything baked or cooked, it certainly tastes great! Enjoyed your rhymes and you made me think of several writers here who are great writers and great cooks and maybe your sweet wife and your mom, too!

    I was reading a review of a celebrated woman author and a famous man said about her that he liked the way she cooks. I cannot remember their names, but that was the inspiration for this poem. This took place several months ago, and I thought I wrote down their names but I cannot find any reference to them.

Hi Nomi, Lol. This is a poem that my husband can relate to. He's a beef man, so when I invited him to dinner for the very first time, I cooked a prime rib. I think that dinner moved me to the top of his list. Lol, but true.

Your poem reads and flows well, and it is a poem that many can/will relate to. Of special note:

--For Her cooking I will stand in line,

(Anything worth having is worth waiting for, including the woman.
Big-teeth smile.)

Good rhyming. Perfect photo choice. Well done. Margaret

Hey, Nom... I really like this one. I'm not sure if you intended HER in this line...
For Her cooking I will stand in line,
to be capped as emphasis or not.
Cooking is fun and I'm pretty good at it as long as I don't have to stick to recipes. Good cooks often have their party pieces and this (fictional) lady's seems to be apple pie. Yum!

Haha! This made me smile, Nomi! And I accept it's not you but someone is very enamoured with this woman and her cooking! She certainly knows the way to a man's heart. Your lovely verse has a musical quality that sends out a very upbeat message of praise for her apple pie and her generally captivating powers in the culinary department. What a love affair! Thanks for sharing. Debbie

This is a very well written poem about loving the way the woman cooks. I have always heard the way to a man's heart is through his stomach. I guess to some that is true. You used very good descriptive words and very nice imagery. Thanks for sharing. Blessings, Teir

Hahaha! Is this great, or what? Of course you don't care how she looks, because that is the kind of guy you are. But boy oh boy, she knows how to cook and that is worth a lot. I love it. How fun is this? She may not be so happy about the nooks and crannies, but love that she can cook. Then your pride shows so big in the statement about her book. So that is awesome. Thanks for sharing this with us, bro. Love, Debi
