    Poems about cheese

    In another thread, Ecurb posted a few G.K. Chesterton quotes, including this one: "Poets have been mysteriously silent on the subject of cheese."

    This seems easily correctable, so have at it.

    Hi Calidore I thought you had posted a poem about cheese haha.
    Maybe no cheese has inspired any poet to do so or maybe cheese lovers do not write about it but rather enjoy eating it instead.who knows?
    are you going to post a cheese/cheesy poem?
    it may never try
    but when it does it sigh
    it is just that
    good
    it fly

    That reading of the thread title didn't occur to me; thanks for pointing it out. If a mod sees this, can you please change the thread title to "Post your poems about cheese"? Thanks!

    Be careful what you ask for...

    Swiss is a man's cheese

    I responded to this challenge several years ago (a tongue and cheeky approach; though not for for faint (you know who you are)):

    Homage to Fromage ? ( or: To Brie or not to Brie )


    For a salad delightful of the green-leafy sort
    crumble in Blue Cheese, Feta, or Roquefort
    or add them to a dressing thick and creamy
    to your avocado, chick-peas, and tomato... mmm, dreamy !
    To make a fondue... into the pot: Cheddar, Gruyère, or Swiss...
    a bit of wine, and cherry liqueur; salt, pepper to taste
    Use fork or tong with breads or meats... or perhaps skewer all this...
    creamy, delightfully rich morsels... to add inches to the waist
    Pizza, pizza ! that calls for Mozzarella !
    add pepperoni, ham, olive, "shroom" in the pie crust dishy
    with Parmesan or Romano sprinkled liberally on top
    and I'm in Heaven, dining... ( sans fishy !!!)
    To snack on an outing with wine, bread, and thee
    wedges of Colby, Cheddar, Gouda, Camembert, and Brie
    Or if sandwiches are want to be made ( with mayo and mustard ) instead
    add Provolone, Jack, Colby, Fontina, or Muenster to your favorite bread
    Queso Asadero for nachos, Cottage Cheese with fruit or alone,
    cannelloni with Ricotta, Asiago with bagels for your appetite edge to hone
    The list goes on... Gorgonzola, Edam, Limburger, Hazarti...
    Jarlsberg and Curado... Bring them all ! Let's have a PARTY !!!

    Methinks yours truly may actually have one somewhere-- The title was"Ode to a Toasted Cheese Sandwich" I dimly recall. If I find it, I'll put it in the notorious "anti-poetry" thread.

    Trying To Be Like Omar Khayyam

    I brought a loaf of bread, a jug of wine.
    You brought a book of verse?! OK, it's fine
    To read a tasteful poem praising cheese,
    But please don't bring your boyfriend the next time.

    Cheese, crumbly holistic curd
    from sheep, goat, bovine herd
    pockmarked, sheathed, chunked
    grated, shredded, in fondue pot shrunk
    topping, dressing, hollandaise sauce
    casseroles: cover, layer, emboss
    in basket; with wine, seasonal fruit toss
