Preparing To Eat A Cupcake

Today is number 22 of my 30-day quest to pen poetic verses in recognition of April poetry month 2013. My intent is to write at least one poem every day and currently I am still ahead of the game since I penned two pieces on one of my posting days. In case you are wondering, I posted Finger Pricking Cactus in this blog and the other extra poem, Heartache Mountain, at another one of my sites.

At any rate... today’s offering involves eating… or at least preparing to eat a cupcake… So… without further ado... Here is the poem…

Preparing To Eat A Cupcake

Prepare to eat a cupcake

Open your mouth too wide

Ready your teeth for sinking

Into frosting with pride

Eyes already tasting

Flavors of cake paste

Chocolate lemon vanilla

Try not to gulp in haste

Oh yeah and the confetti

Colorful candy bits

Flavors excite your taste buds

Leads your tongue to fits

Prior to taking a bite—

Pulling at paper fan

Your throat yearns in delight

Simply because it can
