EVOLUTION, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: Fresh from the griddle's warm embrace
Last Line: Ambrosial vision — buckwheat cake!
Subject(s): Evolution


FRESH from the griddle's warm embrace
It smokes before the ravished sight,
A dash of Indian in its face,
All golden brown, all liquid light,
While from a hundred tiny cells
The sirup glints in amber foam,
And forth the melting butter wells
As honey oozing from the comb.
Each morsel, like a Houri's kiss,
Melts at the lip a fairy flake
To grace thine apotheosis,
Ambrosial vision — buckwheat cake!
