Notes About The Poem

For Nette Onclaud's By the Street Lamp Contest/ July 29, 2025

a street light with a building in the background

By the Street Lamp

By the street lamp I savor
my cherry-cola snow cone
while licking deliciousness 
from a mound of shaved ice as 
I slowly sip its sweet tang
and relish at intervals
nibbles from a lemon bar 
whose icing gladdens my tongue

A deliciously beautiful write, Andrea! I would feel to swoon if I'd ever received such a gallant comment as Howard Kerr's. Not going to happen, I'm a ferocious bear! Still it is so accurate and kind of him. Best wishes, Mikki
