A Butterfly Cinquain About Junk Food
National Poetry Month: Poetry Challenge of the Day
French fries
Dipped in ketchup,
Nacho Cheese Doritos,
Strawberry cheesecake concrete--mmm!
Cookies,
Carrot cake with cream cheese icing,
Key lime pie, more popcorn,
Homemade fudge for
Dessert.
(Author's notes:
I didn't know what the heck a "cinquain" was before today. Read more about cinquains here: http://www.cinquain.org/.
A "concrete" is a heavenly blend of frozen custard and toppings. I hope you already knew that and that you've already eaten at least one. My favorite spot for concretes in the Kansas City area is Sheridan's.
I do not endorse eating nonstop junk food...)

I love popcorn, cashews, cheesecake, Jane Austen, my husband and children, and Conan O'Brien. Why should you be jealous of me? I am double-jointed in both thumbs, I live in Kansas, I'm tall, and I'm modest... View profile

Post a Commentthis poem is weird but kinda cool :)
I do cinquains all the time with my students. Love this one!
Clever!! BTW, that concrete concept has not made its way West yet... at least to my city. Could they maybe give it a more appetizing name? I'm envisioning quite a heavy stomach after eating it.
I wanna try the Strawberry cheesecake concrete!
'Concrete' sounds great! It all does. Except for the Doritos. Too close to Fritos, which I ate as a kid on a long car trip. Car sick - had to hang my head out the window. Bleachhhh. Still have an aversion to them 50 odd years later.
Maria, the reason this is your last meal is because it made you so sick, you died! Save yourself--send the cheesecake my way! (^;^) P.S. Almost all of my family live in the Kansas City area, too.
That is quite a rich combination of desserts. You don't want to be sick after your last meal do you?!
I am so wanting dessert right now
Yummy!
You are going to blow my diet!
