Marie Antoinette's Angel Food Cake Recipe
by Ed Higgins
honey
she said
with a wink
and a twinkle
both subtle
and splendid
tilting her
head
while wiggling
her fine bourbon
ass
just a
little
you're only
a slice
away
from this
heavenly
French
dish.

Author's Note
In the current issue of Red River Review, Nov. 2013, p. 39,
Don't recall how the poem came about exactly, but surely a riff on the "Let them eat cake" quote (which she probably never said).

I love that "only a slice away". Sweet poem with a touch of bourbon!
A most agreeable title.
Seductive.*
Strong way to close. Good poem.
Finally read the author's note and made the connection...
;-)
(and think it's deeper than its simplicity implies)
"with a wink
and a twinkle
both subtle
and splendid"
Great!
thanx, all--this was a fun poem to have written, always makes me smile! Gotta love your own stuff, of course.
A lot of fun. The short breaks give this a clever little melody, and I appreciate the grim double meaning of the last stanza of this poem.
Fun. *
Sexy and light-well done.
"Her fine bourbon ass" conjures so much. *******fav by far
