For Haibun Monday, dVerse takes a look at broken things as art. Click the link to join in.
To the dVerse poets, I am going on holiday, but I promise to catch up on your poems. 🙂
Walnut Tree Very Pretty
Have you heard the phrase, you are what you eat? If it’s true, then I am probably nuts. Add chopped pecans or walnuts to any dish and you will have a friend in me. I prefer them broken and then added, especially into a dish that is going to be baked. Both pecans and walnuts attain a different, enhanced flavor with baking, luscious and decadent. I use them in diverse dishes such as vegetarian pizza with pesto and pecan pie muffins and gorgonzola pasta. Chopped, their flavor extends throughout a dish whereas whole the taste is too saturated.
Heavy thunderstorm.
Hard rain drenches the spring soil.
Walnut tree nourished.

I do love nuts in any form too. I was probably a squirrel once.

I agree, I just haven’t found a great way to cook with them. I prefer them salted and eat by the handfuls! 🙂

I can relate to loving nuts in anything. I like this haibun; it is fun and well-written, and the haiku goes well with the top part.
