10 Haikus All About Real Food
Eat real food, and eat well.
Usually Foodie Underground is a lengthy column about some version of the six words above. Sometimes I feel that every week I am just trying to find a new and creative way to say the exact same thing: eat real food. One week it can be an argument for buying dirty vegetables, another a dive into the world of direct trade coffee. But ultimately, the message remains the same. And when you write the same message all the time, you have to learn how to switch it up.
So this week, I figured that I should try a different spin on it. Yes, today’s column is all about real food, just as usual, except today it’s not a column; it’s a collection of haikus.
Why haikus? Because like real food, haikus are simple. They get to the essence of things in just a few syllables. What better way to talk about the simplicity and beauty of real food than this?
With that, here are 10 haikus all about good, simple food and eating well.
***
Autumn always brings
Another harvest season
Ripe for the taking
Food on the table
Drink poured into every glass
Is this not living?
Easy, simple, fast
Is there better happiness
Than fridge leftovers?
If you cannot pick
What stares at you from the plate
Cannot be real food
Dirt on your fingers
Smell of rain permeating
This is how food grows
It begins a seed
Growing into mighty plant
Cut for sustenance
We were all seeds once
This we share with food we eat
Born from Mother Earth
War is waged daily
McDonalds, Burger King
Food battles we fight
Orange, red, yellow
Exploding from the table
Colorful season
We must breath and eat
Good food sustains the good life
Take time to enjoy
