Churchkhela!!!
An Ode to Georgian snack
My landlord gifted me Churchkhela
A famous Georgian power snack.
Made of walnuts coated in thick grape juice,
It goes back thousands of years.
Ancient Georgian warriors took it with them
On their long tours and battles.
Like honey, it never spoils and needs no fridge.
Many call it "Georgian Snickers"
But I would say it's the world's first
Known and documented power bar.
Not too sweet, entirely natural, it powers you up
For hours and hours with no sense of guilt or hunger.
What will I do without it when I leave Georgia?
Luckily, not for the next nine months.
I've forgotten that the Feast Community also has a 600-word limit. That’s where I tried to submit it first. Resubmitting to Poets even though I don't consider this Ode good poetry.
