Sierras Tiramisu
I miss you, tiramisu
I reminisce about the times my tongue kissed you
swallow,
chew,
absent are the smiles from the baker too
are you ever replacing things you’re accustomed to?
does my absence also fluster you?
I ate custards and fondue
but they just wouldn’t do
Sierra where you?!
I miss the baker who baked the best tiramisu

The sound play in this poem is so much fun and now I want tiramisu.
What Philip said. I would add that working with a single vowel sound, “oo,” concentrates the poem and adds to its impact.
Yeah I agree…the rhymes are shaped kisses that really do something here.
The space for “swallow ” and ” chew” coupled with the reversal adds a neat pace.
I love how you praise both the tiramisu and the baker in this poem!
