Bursting flavours char
Flames lick up, drip down goodness
Sensual sizzle

This haiku was written for the Haiku Challenge released by the Vocal Social Society on Facebook. Although I haven’t done many challenges from other groups in a while, this one looked too delicious to pass up.
I just had to write about tacos, especially as I made homemade trompo/ Tacos Al Pastor yesterday. The fat dripping down as the meat is slow cooked, the crispy outer armor, the moist well marinated meat in adobo- it’s mouthwatering!
Hopefully you’ll try this challenge out too, just write a foodie haiku!

Spectating
I can't imagine dying like this, in a place like this; on a cold, dirty pavement with rush hour traffic screaming by and a crowd looking on while paramedics struggle to find space to move. Who could? Deep down we all think there should be a reason, a moment of clarity... or a family presence, at least. For this man, this boy, the rail thin woman lighting a cigarette in a faux fur jacket will have to do - she's been here since the start, her eyes tracking the movement of my shoulders as we fight to keep him on the right side of the line.

Bursting lick drip sizzle - an aural delight. Tantalising imagery (even though I don’t eat meat lol) 😍

😲😲😲😲😲 yes! HOT in many ways. Delicious! ❤
Only 3 oz. per meal per my dietary instructions as a recently diagnosed diabetic. But the smells & the sizzles are free for the taking.
I like your take on this challenge, very well done
