Poems About Cheese

Cheese is often orange,

And sometimes it’s white,

But it always delicious,

Every single bite.

by Esther Goetz

Sir, I said
It’s rude to call something “stinky”

And so sassily he said,
”Oh paleeeeeeese!”

I said “Sir,
It’s so rude, it’s uncouth, and it’s mean”

He said, “Not when the subject
is cheese.”

Tell me how rude and unacceptable this is in the comments

I have eaten

the cheese

that was in

the icebox

and which

you were probably

saving

for a snack

or for pizza

or for making queso

or for a sandwhich

or for melting on veggies to make them edible

Forgive me

it was delicious

all by itself

so cheesy

Inspired by This Is Just To Say by William Carlos Williams

I love you more than cheese
and that’s saying a lot
’cause cheese has always been there
when people have not

cheese, thick and melted
between soft slices of bread
and cheese dipped in soup
then shoved in my head

but you’re pretty cool for a person
I kinda like the way you sneeze
and I like other stuff too, so yeah –
you’re better than cheese

Love of cheese will solve a multitude of problems

The day I tried Brie

by Natasha Smith

Textured like a piece of paper,
taste just as bland.
An acquired taste, yes.
was definitely to be had.

I tried several times more,
tasting tastier than taste could be.
That was the day I began to like Brie.

Fly me to the moon
Let me eat the cheese up there
I don’t care how far it is
This gouda is my air

In other words
I love cheese
In other words
Slice some cheddar please

Someone asked if I’d rather
have cheese or chips

Well listen here, sir,
I won’t fall for your tricks

I’m kicking back
with my favorite pick

A family-sized bag of
sour cream and cheddar crisps

This thing, sir, that you’ve asked of me
Is an ugly, hateful, false dichotomy

Both/and is a thing, sir
Both/and is a thing.

Heart of Cheese

by Sarah Knutson

I found her on the counter.
I want more cheese in my body.
She said.
At three years old, she already knew
The way to my heart.

Three more years forward,
Her favorite meal is
Sliced meat, fancy cheese, and crackers
All served on a bamboo board.

Family lunch, she calls it.
As always, she knows that
Cheese will win me over,
Whenever the opportunity arises.

FIND SARAH AT THE ROARING MAMALION

Feeling overwhelmed
by the cracks in this world?
by the suffering?
by the injustice?

I know it seems
like you need
to do something
like you need to fix everything

But I submit to you
maybe
since you can’t fix
everything

Maybe you could
take that overwhelmed
feeling and go
somewhere safe

Maybe
you could eat some cheese
in your pajamas

Maybe you could
take deep breaths
maybe you could
get a hug

And then maybe,
when you’re not
overwhelmed by
everything

You’ll be able to
do something

Not a one of us
can fix everything
but everyone can
do something

Sometimes we just
need a
cheese snack first
is all
