My Poem: Baklava: Gen

[stonepicnicking_okapi]

Title: Baklava
Rating: Gen
Number of Lines: 8
Poetic form: ottava rima
Prompt: syrupy

Beneath a sparkly dome, a golden square
arrests sunlight and eyes of passersby.
Its layers clinging, not crumbling, all share
a syrupy kiss, a treacly sigh,
the kind to make lookers-on halt and stare
and want, inviting query and reply.
Sweet, stickily studded with nuts, it sits
between honey cakes and chocolate bits.

I put this on a chocolate wrapper with orange ribbon.

I like this - very appropriate for the chocolate wrapper :)

Thank you! The orange ribbon was especially pretty. It came round the box of chocolates (which were chocolate covered orange peel). But syrupy led me to baklava and I wanted to do something concrete.

Very well done...such creative use of wrappings:-)

I am glad you think so! There was somewhat of a loss of elegance between concept and execution due to my facility *cough* or lack there of *cough* with a hot glue gun.
