First Poem a Day

Describing Nokkelost* to Disarmingly Handsome and Unfailingly Polite Mr. C

Nutty, creamy, and spicy. Intensifies with age.
Supple. Elastic. Smooth.
Fragrant clove buds hide inside these pale, creamy walls.
Slight saltiness lingers on the lips.
Semihard. Aged. Generous fat content.

Sometimes smells like rye.



*Nokkelost is a Norwegian cheese, banned in the US over mad cow disease fears.

Dang. I didn't know cheese could sound so sexy. I love the third line.
