For Sam, who is driving me crazy (in a good way) with his bread dough obsession


my

pizza

guy dazzled

me with his crisp

pie oozing fresh mozzarella and herbs

I'm not great with words but the pizza looks delightful.
Granny Janny Apr 9, 2012, 7:00pm UTC
It tastes even better than it looks!
JustMe ~I'm happy to be~ Apr 9, 2012, 5:47pm UTC
YUM.
Veronica Hosking Apr 9, 2012, 5:53pm UTC
I second the yum.
Granny Janny Apr 10, 2012, 2:19am UTC
Thanks for coming to the pizza party.
Debbie W. Apr 9, 2012, 5:49pm UTC
You did a brilliant job with this one! And, Sam can come to my house anytime and drive me crazy with his pizza!
Susan Budig - Mindful Poet Apr 9, 2012, 5:58pm UTC
I'm pretty sure Jan won't want to share her Sam. :-)
Granny Janny Apr 9, 2012, 6:59pm UTC
I would share his pizza, however. This is for real. He has it down and it's crazy good...as is his breads...baked twice weekly!
Kasey Klein Apr 9, 2012, 5:51pm UTC
looks tasty
Granny Janny Apr 10, 2012, 2:19am UTC
Thanks, Kasey.
Susan Budig - Mindful Poet Apr 9, 2012, 6:00pm UTC
Seven Zs! That's the most so far today. yum. I like pizza. Your syllable count really worked. I mean, it's like it all fell into place, but I know that's not how poetry usually works.

Your Tetractys is now in the running at Mindful Poetry.
Granny Janny Apr 9, 2012, 7:00pm UTC
It took a little while to pizza it together.
Granny Janny Apr 9, 2012, 7:53pm UTC
Oh darn, I spelled the form incorrectly...I'll fix it tomorrow.
Irina Dimitric Apr 9, 2012, 7:58pm UTC
I thought we were allowed to us the letter Z only four times.
Granny Janny Apr 9, 2012, 8:00pm UTC
She didn't say we couldn't do more than four...
Susan Budig - Mindful Poet Apr 9, 2012, 9:46pm UTC
I see how Irina read it and yet Jan understood it the way I meant. Z needed to be used at least four time and I should have said it like that.

Darin Waugh Apr 9, 2012, 6:37pm UTC
Very nice!
Granny Janny Apr 10, 2012, 2:20am UTC
Thanks, Darin.
A. F. Stewart Apr 9, 2012, 6:56pm UTC
Yummy!
Granny Janny Apr 10, 2012, 2:21am UTC
Thanks for reading.
JOHN BECK Apr 9, 2012, 7:03pm UTC
You used "z" 7 times and it all made sense! Great conquest of the prompt, Jan.
Granny Janny Apr 9, 2012, 7:57pm UTC
I have to admit, John, that I'm not crazy about having the additional "must haves" in our form challenges...it's enough for me to simply follow form. But when I had to add Zs, I decided to do it with a sizzling not fizzling vengeance.
JOHN BECK Apr 9, 2012, 8:23pm UTC
And you did!
Alice G. Apr 9, 2012, 7:39pm UTC
Sometimes slang is very to the point: you go girl! It made good sense too.
Granny Janny Apr 9, 2012, 7:54pm UTC
And it's all true and current as yesterday, Alice. We had his pizza last night for dinner.
Alice G. Apr 9, 2012, 8:37pm UTC
Looks mouthwatering!
Granny Janny Apr 10, 2012, 2:21am UTC
Disappeared too quickly.
Irina Dimitric Apr 9, 2012, 8:00pm UTC
Yummy! Great sizzling poem.
Granny Janny Apr 9, 2012, 8:14pm UTC
Thanks, Irina. There are many fine poems for this challenge. And I know that more will come in before the end of the day.
G'day, Sam - a big slice, please.
Granny Janny Apr 10, 2012, 2:22am UTC
Coming right up.
Yum!
elizabeth evans Apr 9, 2012, 8:33pm UTC
That looks scrumptious.

Granny Janny Apr 10, 2012, 1:38am UTC
I say, sleep!
Priya P. Apr 10, 2012, 1:52am UTC

Granny Janny Apr 10, 2012, 2:24am UTC
