Happy Memorial Day! I recently attended a poetry breakfast at Jama’s Alphabet Soup. In honor of Jama, this morning my daughter and I wrote poems to our coffee cake.
Coffee Cake
by Anna (aged 7)
Coffee cake, coffee cake,
How delicious can you be?
Beautiful and pretty, too,
I can’t stop,
I need coffee cake from you!
Coffee Cake
by Brenda (old enough to know better)
Taken with tea,
you’re for me.
A slice or nine,
makes my face shine,
like a child going wild,
for a taste.
Have a wonderful weekend!

She does have a natural rhythm at 7 and a lack of fear of repetition that I wish I had. 🙂

Ah yes, cake….my favourite with tea! 😀 I love the amusement and the fact that you are old enough to know better! 😉 I’m just brewing a tea right now, but am all out of cake…you’ve made me hungry. I’m going to have to pretend my digestive biscuits are coffee cake!! I remember my friend (originally from the US) explaining to me that coffee cake in America is not a coffee flavoured cake, but cake you enjoy with coffee – that was news to me! In England, if you ask for coffee cake in a café that might be exactly what you get, coffee flavoured iced cake!

Oh yuck! Here food with coffee is called mocha or espresso usually. And coffee cake is divine. Mine was blueberry, but my favorite is cinnamon-sugar.
You should come for brunch sometime. Just wear your loosest clothing. LOL
I’m writing poetry right now. Flavored with the red queen. 🙂
