Notes About The Poem

(Entry for the Write an Epulaeryu Food Poem Contest, sponsored by Tania Kitchin, submitted April 21, 2025)

Lemon Meringue Pie

Classic lemon meringue pie:
fluffy, sweet and tart,
the thought of it makes me sigh!
With a light pastry
it's just so tasty...
delicious...
yum!

It's my favourite too! (although I won't say no to apple pie, banana cream pie, shepherd's pie...!!!) Take care, Jan.
