Poetic Petits Fours

~ Christine Goodnough

According to Lexico, a petit four is a very small fancy cake, biscuit, or sweet, typically made with marzipan and served after a meal. Merriam-Webster defines it as a small cake cut from pound or sponge cake and frosted. The name has come to us from the French “little oven.”

I have a lot of little verses scribbled and saved to post someday, and this dull and cloudy day might be perfect to share them.

Alfresco Dining

sparrows join me
breaking bread together
alfresco dining

raven
visits the school ballgame
pinch-hitting MC

cluster of red berries
a someday forest
in my hand
