L...violin playing? wow, didn't see that coming! LOL I do write about music sometimes, have a few music-oriented poems that satisfy me, but would rather worry about the music OF the poem.<br /><br />I am less often moved to write about food than to write about the landscape but do love a good food poem. I am a good cook, an original recipe kind of cook, but the mundane daily grind of making meals is not fun for me. I'd rather go into the kitchen and "get food" so I can keep writing.Carol Willette Bachofnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10851607014763514265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4873636167406910107.post-17816958696152371032011-06-08T07:16:15.807-04:002011-06-08T07:16:15.807-04:00Charles Simic writes frequently about food and is ...Charles Simic writes frequently about food and is also rumored to be a serious cook. That said, I've noted (entirely nonscientifically) that good food-writing poets often seem to be non-serious cooks . . . though sometimes they are good gardeners. I know that I rarely feel moved to write about food, although I am a serious cook. Almost, to me, it feels as if the cooking is itself the expression and thus doesn't need poetic expression. I have similar feelings about writing about violin playing.Dawn Potterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07500960150846895633noreply@blogger.com
