Notes About The Poem

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

 

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
