Drippy cheese nuzzled
in sourdough—seared on hot
buttered iron. Crunch!

*Toastie is the British word for grilled cheese. I learned it from an old friend.

Words fly to me on the wind, bump into me as I'm strolling the city, splash me in the face while I rest by the river, and shake me awake in the middle of the night– I’m humbly one of the many vessels they use to come to life.

Hi Haiku-'k' ~ As a strict vegan I long for a bite ~ 'j'
Congratulations! This is a gorgeously indulgent haiku 😍
Congratulations on your 2nd place win! Your haiku has me tasting the cheesy crunch!
I like toasties (Jaffles in parts of Aust.) more than Haiku. Sourdough bread that holds a nest of sliced ham, indecently peppered and diced tomato and drowning in a pool of melty cheese. You have made me hungry - good job and congrats on the TS!
Fabulous work Kristen!
Very well written, congratulations on top story.💗
TS...and so delicious!
Came back to say congrats on the deliciousness!
Congratulations on the top story!!!! Fantastic stuff. 🥰🥰🥰
I love the word "nuzzled". Such a great choice. Like that toastie is all cosy and snug. Bread and cheese in perfect harmony. Congrats on TS!
Congrats on a gooey delicious Top Story!
Loved this! And as a Brit, that is exactly what I'm going to have for dinner! Congrats on great Top Story!
Yay!! Top Story!! And now I’m craving this AGAIN 🤣
Congrats on the yummy TS.
Nice, Congratulations on your Top Story🎉👌
My mouth is literally watering...guess I'll be having this for lunch! Loved your take on this, Kristen :) Congrats on Top Story!
Ooooooh yay! Congrats, pal! Well deserved Top Story!
Where can I order? Great haiku! 😎
Oh my...I knew I read this already...but didn't reply or like. Fixing that now. I love everything about this. Cheese toasties are one of my favourite go-to meals, snacks, lift-me-ups, anything really! I also do a non-grilled version in a dry frying pan that is delicious. Add some ham for another layer of lovely flavour. This is a great haiku, Kristen! Well done on making me salivate...pal!
Oh God, I'm craving a grilled cheese sandwich now! Why did you do this to me? 🤣🤣🤣
Yummo! 😁
I'm hungry now!!! Great haiku!
Mmm, Sign me up!!! 😁
Oh my! I want to eat that toasted sandwich immediately. I can taste it!! Thank you. 🥰
Honestly, now I need a sandwich
