An East Coaster Travels


An East Coaster Travels

while
a night’s stay
at Chateau Marmont
is a little rich for the
commoner’s blood a   
            $14 dessert
of almond & hazelnut
meringue        
            chocolate ganache
& espresso buttercream is
not
            while
savoring each sweet bite
            a browse through
the rest of their decadent
menu
            garners a delight
the
mussels served in a
coconut curry broth hail all
the way from Prince Edward
            Island
my neck of the woods           
                                    I have
to sample them of course, a
            little taste of home in
West Hollywood

A fun little poem/blurb today.

It’s Friday, sunny, and a whopping fourteen degrees so naturally I took to the daydreams. A true Spring day that’ll knock whatever ills left in my system from my sick day yesterday.

I’m happy to have put pen to paper. It’s getting me in the mood for tonight, the annual poetry reading at City Hall with Open Heart Forgery for Poetry Month – the Mayor will even be on hand for some of it.  I love that it falls on a Friday this year. And, while I’m there, I’m going to see if I can peek at the Legacy Room and feast my eyes on the Gord Downie statue. Fingers crossed!

I am reading a poem for my Big Sister tonight. One poem. One purpose.

Happy Friday peoples!

In propinquity,
Nic

  1. I adore the irony in this one, not to mention the sensual stimulus of the $14 dessert. Food porn at its finest!
