ice-cream, cakes & pastries
are all my favorites
ice-cream
makes me melt
& live in a dream
cream-cake
is one of the best ways
to make me feel & stay awake
pastry
when the taste is subtle
crust layered & flaky
exude charms & fantasies
but, most important,
ice-cream, cream-cakes & pastries
make me write poetry
create melodies & rhapsodies
they're the key
to inspiration
and or perspiration?
