Were I a restaurant proprietor Al fresco and exclusively for poets My menu would be cryptic metaphors Original from memories echoic Spring rhymes of happy times and brighter days Fresh summer sonnets mostly bittersweet Then autumn prose on multicolored trays Some winter villanelle hor dourves for treats And if you come your muse can eat for free Imagination is a welcome guest There is one rule, no dictionaries please Yes, thinking caps are furnished on request Come dine with me until you get your fill The best part is you'll never get a bill September 6 2016

I have just dined with you. Congratulations, this is a good take on the theme. I like out of the box poetry. Thank you, I would certainly give a tip, Kai

Thank you, Kai. I am glad you enjoyed your visit:) I generally go way out of the box for contests, to make certain mine is different. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. I appreciate your kind comments and your support.

Don't feel bad, there are so many poems written daily, no one can read them all. I know, I've tried. Thank you, Jo, for your kindness and there will always be a place for you:)

Maybe I have read this - I recall thinking this (or something someone else plagiarized after reading yours) was especially free and light feeling. I love it. Can I bring my mom to your restaurant?
