The poets have been mysteriously silent on the subject of cheese.

[oggbashan]

The title is a quote from G K Chesterton (1874-1936)

Is it true? or

Was it true?

Can we write a poem about cheese?

Post Coital Pre Prandial Delights

::

It's tricky writing erotic sleeze
With Priapus slowly wiltin'
Let's satisfy new hungers please
Pass me a bit of that Stilton

Ogden Nash never wrote a word about the curd.

 

[oggbashan]

The makers of processed cheese
Thought of a clever wheeze:
They take cheese that's crap
But sell in a colourful wrap.

Ars Poetica

::

Look at all the cheesy poets,
Sitting down to tea.
Noshing on stale-dated crumpets
and over-ripened Brie.

Ogden Nash - with apologies

Cheese

Cheese, hard
Inspires the Bard,
But cheese, soft,
Prose produces, oft.

Parodied from:

Celery

Celery, raw
Develops the jaw,
But celery, stewed,
Is more quietly chewed.

 

[darkmaas]

Your original hypothesis seems faulty ...

Look here.

Cooper's Hill

Should Brockworth be observed
by any passing explorer from
another planet to watch The Rolling
of the Cheese far below him,
he would be justified for passing by
with bad impressions of our Earth.
Two legged animals so starved
they chase their food down
near vertical ground, stumbling,
falling, rolling like the wheel itself.

 

[champagne1982]

On Raclette

Peasants' fare dressed
fancy as a feast in fondu
and Swiss cafes
then priced as trendy
as potatoes and cheese
will allow

Cheesy Tryst

::

leaving my cheddar for something plus sophistiqué
to have myself a gourmandine affair
take this sad pale mozzarella away
and bring a fat wedge of Camembert

::

 

[oggbashan]

In Boulogne a Maitre Fromager holds sway,
Even French women for him will queue,
Crowding his establishment every day
Walking past one scents a lovely phew.

with apologies.......

Reblechon and Camembert,
Port l’eveque, Boursin and Chevre,
now French cheese is everywhere
challenging the British wheel.
The Germans wedded Camembert
with Gorgonzola from Italy
the progeny was cheese with flare.
Stolid Holland’s cheese is dull,
Edam, Gouda, boring fare,
Emmentaler from the Swiss
Makes fondue beyond compare.
But what can beat some crusty bread
and English cheddar something rare?

Thank you for proving that Literotica poets can produce cheesy verse.

All I need now is an heroic epic about cheese. Perhaps it could only be written in French?

No. Just fromage.

La belle Mimolette est attrape dans la tour.
Elle ne mange que camembert au four.
L'hero Ogg vient dedans
Avec un cadeau de St Agur



....perhaps the heroic epic should be a joint venture.

Tres bien! Formidable!

Perhaps the French forum might help but they appear to be defunct. Helas!

Through three cheese trees three free fleas flew.
While these fleas flew, freezy breeze blew.
Freezy breeze made these three trees freeze.
Freezy trees made these trees' cheese freeze.
That's what made these three free fleas sneeze.

from Fox in Socks by Dr. Seuss

Scrubber did it first - and better but since I did this, I'm sticking it here.

J'aime mon fromages,
ils fais l’allumage
dans ma vie
de moquarie, c’est si
apaisement, charment
et admirerent.​

Merci Beaucoup.

Before this thread, who knew that the Poets' Hangout members were cheese lovers and multilingual?

The thread is officially justified.

Where did I put the Camembert? I can smell it around here somewhere...
