Notes About The Poem

Oliver Mckeithon Tricube Contest

My husband, being analytical, read and mispronounced most of the pastries listed at a Parisian style pastry shop (we are going to breakfast there tomorrow).

 

Piece of Cake

All the French
I can take -
piece of cake.

A baguette
or croissants?
Paris tempts.

Cream inside;
lick my lips.
Morrow’s trip.
