Notes About The Poem

3rd in Epulaeryu Food Contest (Sponsor: Tania Kitchen)

Coucou

If sunrise sat on a dish-
should this be your wish-
hope for golden dough, mellow
spheres of cooked cornmeal
sunk in okra slosh
tomato
skies

Hey! If you are familiar with polenta, that's the closest thing to it.

Thanks. I could probably eat this every day. My husband doesn't like it. I love it!
