My bowl of chili

Monday, May 28th, 2007

my bowl of chiliLife could be a bowl of chili,
full of spices and surprises.
Meaty goodness, or may be not,
a hearty meal or somber crises.

More than what one expects
loaded with a certain taste:
a hint of bitter chocolate,
pungent garlic, tomato paste.

Cry with onions, diced galore
pepper green, no heat at all.
Simmering mix of rich texture,
a dish to please or to appall.

Life could be a bowl of chili.
The end-result, I must decide.
It is just what I make of it -
best or bitter, Jekyll or Hyde.

Chili - A dish usually made with ground beef, garlic, onions, cilantro, cumin, oregano, sweet and/or hot peppers, tomatoes (paste, sauce and chopped up fresh ones), chili powder and in my own recipe–just a hint of bitter chocolate.
