Andrea Dietrich Poet Monorhyme

Notes About The Poem

An Eight-Tiered Cake

An eight-tiered cake, rose frosted, nothing fake
but purely sweet and white down to each flake
of coconut! Oh how long did it take
the artist of this masterpiece to make?
All other foods for this one I’d forsake.
A plate of golden fries with prime rib steak
could not entice me more than wedding cake,
each swirl so delicate my heart might ache
to see it ravished; my hand starts to shake
the fork I hold. I simply must partake.
Just let me at it now, for heaven’s sake!

Reason A. Poteet March 6, 2017 at 8:32 PM Gorgeous pic and fantastic descriptiive piece to accompany, ephrastic poetry. I'm with you, nothing like white cake, white icing and plenty of it. Wedding, birthday or any other occasion. Super monorhyme which doesn't interfere at all with your flow.

CayCay Godwin March 5, 2017 at 8:16 PM This amusing write sure enough pushed my silly button. I'm still giggling, even got a visual! Hugs ... CayCay

John Michaels March 5, 2017 at 5:28 AM Great write... the monorhyme enhances the imagery of the scene, with an injection of humour.

Rhonda Johnson-Saunders March 4, 2017 at 6:33 PM I love this one, Andrea! The rhyme scheme adds to the playfulness of the poem, and I don't trust people who don't like cake especially wedding cake! I was looking for your tanka for Vienna' s contest. I fell in love with the colors and innocence of that picture...looking forward to reading your entry when you're done. Hugs, Rhonda

James Horn March 1, 2017 at 7:15 AM Am sure that you wanted to HAVE at it. Don't know if I would like relish on my wedding cake though. Julia Ward March 7, 2017 at 2:27 AM To "relish" means to like.
