Kim Rodrigues Poet Tanka

Candle In a Jar

It was my daughter in law’s birthday. The dinner celebration at the restaurant did not include dessert. 


godiva midnight 
forgot the chocolate cake
the birthday surprise
whipping it up with two sons
the snow and moon enhancing

Caren Krutsinger December 31, 2021 at 5:24 AM I love the idea of two sons whipping up a cake with their mommy! Happy New Year Kim Kim Rodrigues December 31, 2021 at 7:52 AM Thank you, Caren!

Gershon Wolf December 29, 2021 at 6:24 PM I guess the restaurant staff didn't know your daughter-in-law was coming, so they didn't bake a cake. Did I get that right? Kim Rodrigues December 29, 2021 at 8:54 PM LOL…the fancy sushi restaurant that my son and DIL went to offered no dessert. You’re right.

Darlene De Beaulieu December 29, 2021 at 12:27 PM Hello Kim, a lot of people lie chocolate cake. Hugs. Darlene De Beaulieu December 30, 2021 at 3:53 PM Hello Kim, you are partial to vanilla. I am partial to chocolate. Hugs. Kim Rodrigues December 29, 2021 at 3:03 PM Yes. I’m partial to vanilla.

Victor Buhagiar December 29, 2021 at 12:50 AM Might be a black forest cake so famous in Germany. Hugs. Kim Rodrigues December 29, 2021 at 7:23 AM Those are delicious!

Michelle Faulkner December 28, 2021 at 12:00 PM Makes me think of a chocolate cake I read about called 'blackout cake' because it was such a dark chocolate, love the line 'godiva midnight'! Kim Rodrigues December 28, 2021 at 1:37 PM Thank you, Michelle!

Bill Baker December 28, 2021 at 10:58 AM Living in the moment, and chocolate cake, nice experience and reflective poem, Kim. Your friend, Bill Kim Rodrigues December 28, 2021 at 11:28 AM I took a small bite and went to bed. Loved the moment. Thanks, Bill!

Tom Cunningham December 28, 2021 at 9:25 AM Oh no, apart from the chocolate cake hiccup I hope she had a lovely day. Tom Kim Rodrigues December 28, 2021 at 9:51 AM LOL…I think so! It is these little faux pas that can make a memory. It was not a thoughtless day. ;)
