Sweet sour spicy and bitter
are our main flavours
those into cooking know
how to enhance such tempting tastes
Or people can become bitter
soured by life they struggle
to see beauty amongst
their hardships and strife
Just as with cooking
we can choose which flavour
we focus our energy on
sweet and spicy are my choices
What’s yours?
Daily Prompt: Bitter
Advertisements
Well said, Kate. Sometimes, I wonder why people are in a cocoon, always rude and complaining – bitter experiences in life. But, bitter experiences are supposed to make them strong and good-natured, not rude, isn’t it? I too prefer sweet and spicy – food or life. I am soft-spoken except when angry – when angry, I burn like red-hot coal 😀

I have managed to reduce my temper. Actually I think our temper, our moods have a lot to do with the month we were born in. Most of those who were born in summers have a bad temper. The ones born in winters are calmer than the rest. May be not true everywhere or with everyone.

your theory doesn’t work for me – I was born right in the middle of winter … on reflection it feels like I was born with massive anger issues so it’s taken a lot of persistent hard work

I love spicy and sweet! Especially with sauces…like BBQ sauce or salsa!
Once in awhile, I do enjoy dill, though…like a dill pickle! 😀

I’m a sweet and spicy person as well. Emotionally, bitter occasionally makes its presence when debating health care professionals that choose to use facial expressions rather than reference sources to condescendingly dismiss my positions. To add (sort of) humor to the debate is sometimes becomes necessary to admit my lack of clarity regarding the M.D. credentials. I apologize for being misinformed and believing the letter stood for “Myopic” and “Dimentia.” It seemed to fit the characterization I was debating against. Everyone usually laughs (except the individual debating me.) It usually costs me lunch to make amends! 🙂
