My sister Tina took some of these cupcakes to work and they disappeared in no time flat.

The next day one of her male co-workers tracked her down to thank her for "The BEST" cupcake he had ever eaten.

"I am not allowed to eat on the job, so I wrapped it up and went to put it in my car. On the way, I thought I'd just have a little taste. Well it was so delicious, I ate it all. It was the best cupcake I've ever eaten. I wanted another, but did not want you to think I was greedy.... but did you bring anymore this week?"

Hello All

This was in my mind when I chose the topic ,,,,,let's see how many of you were able to divert your imagination to this simple idea ,,,,if not let's hope
some other poets in the forum may like to shed their thoughts to poetically express it!

Quote:
""For Your Peanut

"Do you call your little one Cupcake, Peanut or Sweet Pea? Or do you like to sing "You Are My Sunshine" to him when he goes to sleep? ***_**sells organic cotton bib and burp sets ($24) embellished with these and other popular terms of endearment. Blankets, bodysuits and T-shirts are also available. Search the entire collection at ***_**.com."" ,,,from an Ad.

Know a mom who could use another bib and burp set? Forward this.

I'm sorry the deadline for the results have been left behind,,,,for one of the reasons already intimated to you herein earlier....I would like to have your views as to the next date with a grace of some more days ,,,,would 30 th May be okay for all ??

again am sorry for delayed results. Infact , all the entries are very very strong and brilliant and it really makes me ''shudder'' to decide one way or the other .

Hello All !!

Am sorry for staying behind schedule. Anyway here is my verdict on the poems for the contest. Thanks to all for participating and to those who cared to read and enjoy the brilliant poems submitted by our friend poets (and/or poetesses) in this contest.


Alakungfu: Comparatively, I liked these lines --these are so beautiful and so realistic indeed !

pyramid impassive
lo! to the artistry
woe to the prone pastry
foe to the waisting industry

rapturous treasures
food for thought
good for the overwrought
mood for quite a lot

However, the poem mainly depicts the dietary and mood=elevating aspect of the cup cakes and is brilliant in that respect.


PenDragon: These lines of your poem are really very forceful ,,,,

Lost in crème whirls and swirls,
Piled high and looking like another world
Of brown mountain topped by driven snow,

the poem is good in rhythm and rhyme and has an historical central idea ,,,,,



schadenfreude,,,,Wow! what a beautiful ending ! the entire poem flows like a stream of thought ,,,,innocent thought culminating in ' a bite into soft flesh' !

And I still know nothing, but can picture
Your small sharp teeth
Biting into soft flesh.

Ampoule:

a very nice ditty indeed,,,,however, upon reading the opening lines I had thought you were alluding to children but,,,,,hmmmm !

Come to me now, my little cupcake,
Let me unwrap you, gently squeeze
That moist, sweet chiffon.

the poem has a 'deep thought ' expressed with poetic grandeur ,,,,,


So, an overall consideration of all aspects of thought, imagery and composition I am pleased to declare schadenfreude,,,as the Winner of this contest ....Congratulations freude !.

Thanks Ampoule, Alakungfu, Pen for decorating this contest with your brilliant poems
and, yes, thanks to Symphony as well for drawing our attention to the poem by the Ice Cream King !

best wishes
maz
