Ode to Arugula

O arugula
I so love ya
You might be bitter to the taste
but i will never put you to waste


You are also known as garden rocket
So small i can put you in my pocket
You have this peppery fragrant smell
So distinct it's easy to tell


You're so rich in vitamin A
Every time I eat you, my eyes say yay!
I love your bursts of flavor
Do go extinct? This is my favor


Oh arugula....
You make me sigh
I so love ya
I will never say goodbye




*Nearly 10 years ago, my friends invited me to go to a food trip with them to C's Italian Dining in Clark, Angeles, Pampanga.   This was where I met the love of my palate, Arugula.
