Rhona Mcferran Poet Free verse

Cheesecake Nightmare

Love me or hate me
few people can take me
plain, unadulterated, true to myself
their compulsive need to gussy me up
or completely disguise me
gives me nightmares...
Horrible- horrible!

The worst is where
they try to make me
Savory.

Suffocated in sauces, sweet relish
and pickled beets
garnished with green olives
and fussy-cut vienna sausages
all dancing in fancy chorus lines
on top of me
Oh No! I can't take it...
It just can't be!

What are they thinking?!

I awake with a snug sensation
as something warmish
drapes and
drizzles
down my back
AAAAAHHH!
Caramel sauce-
Thank God!

Michelle Faulkner April 29, 2019 at 7:24 PM I do prefer it with a simple fruit syrup - cherry or strawberry - have you had cheesecake ice cream? Amazing! Rhona Mcferran April 29, 2019 at 8:31 PM Me too! ...No I haven't tried that- but it sounds fabulous!! ;)

M. L. Kiser April 4, 2019 at 5:52 AM YES!!! Caramel sauce, cheesecake!!! Boy, who would put pickled beets and green olives on a cheesecake? That's a crime that should be punishable by law! I'm with the cheesecake on that one. Good one, Rhona but...now I'm wanting cheesecake... Rhona Mcferran April 4, 2019 at 8:07 PM Thanks, ML!! I know... I want cheesecake, too (the caramel one- not the 'nightmare' kind)! ;)

Caren Krutsinger April 3, 2019 at 10:28 PM This is hilarious, and on my FAV list. Personification poems are your forte, my Soul Sister! You do not have to give me any credit! Rhona Mcferran April 3, 2019 at 10:56 PM Thank you, Soul Sister! I'm so glad you enjoyed it!! (...And I learned from the best- you & Nina write the most outrageously funny personification poems ever!) ;)
