Carrie Richards Poet Than-Bauk

Notes About The Poem

Rum Pound Cake

Her first mistake
while baking cakes
was flavoring one with rum

Her headache pounds
and she found 
some crumbs
around her chin

The cake is done
but she wonders now
why all the rum is gone

Timothy Hicks March 12, 2016 at 2:31 AM Got a bit over zealous there, with the brewsky, eh? Hope it didn't get mixed up with a children's birthday cake ... then we'd REALLY be in for some trouble. Congrats on the contest. Your last stanza is the most natural sounding.

James Inman March 11, 2016 at 11:16 AM Funny Carrie. A little too much rum in the rum cake, or maybe not enough. That's what she gets for not sharing.

Lin Lane March 9, 2016 at 5:55 PM lol Carrie. I believe the reason is evident in your picture. She needed to wash it down with something...Nice write.
