Dinner’s Ready
(An Anaphora)
A chicken, plump and white as snow,
in a pot with herbal water, simmers slow.
A whisper of thyme, a hint of bay,
dinner's ready, come what may.
A chicken, fried crispy golden brown,
juicy and crunchy, the best in town.
Lots of salt and pepper, a seasoning sound,
dinner's ready, so ya’ll gather around.
A chicken, roasted, high and proud,
with taters and carrots, the best allowed.
A crispy skin, a tender breast,
dinner's ready, put me to the test.
A chicken, stewed in a rich, dark sauce,
with rice and onions, a glistening gloss.
The simmering pot, with a fragrant steam,
dinner's ready, tastes like a dream.
A chicken, grilled, with smoky char,
off the embers you can smell it near and far.
With lemon wedges, bright and bold,
dinner's ready, a story about to be told.
A chicken, baked into a flaky, buttery crust,
with creamed veggies, a sacred culinary trust.
Its golden crown is a happy, hungry sight,
dinner's ready, served in its best light.

in a pan of colors and tastes beyond compare.

A chicken, in a creamy, cheesy dream,
with noodles entwined, a winning team.
This comforting dish, it smells oh so fine,
dinner's ready, hearty appetites a happy sign.
A chicken, in a tangy sweet and sour,
a symphony of flavors, marinated for hours.
Pineapple chunks and peppers, a perfect blend,
dinner's ready, a long day's delicious end.

so tender it melts, it puts a smile on your face.

with hummus, lettuce, and grilled chicken meat.
It’s quick, it's easy, and it tastes better than fine
dinner's ready, everyone hungry gets in line.
A chicken, your salad, my colorful art,
a bowl of freshness that comes from my heart.

dinner's ready, pizza really is a culinary friend.
A chicken, in answer, to your question every night,
what’s for dinner you ask, in hopes I get it right.
Those hens are on the menu more often than not–
they’re the healthiest choice, the best option we’ve got.
The hardest part of being an adult, I’ve come to find,
is wracking my tired brain, and torturing my weary mind,
To come up with an answer that is both possible and right,
how the heck am I going to do chicken for dinner tonight?
