I’ve decided to start just blogging poems/my poems/anyones poems that I come across, in light of my busy-ness and that Im taking poetry writing this semester. Here is one I wrote today about wontons. I’ll explain: Our professor had us bring in a line of poetry we admire and I picked a line from Maya Angelou’s Phenomenal Woman. The line is:

I’m a woman

Phenomenally.

Phenomenal woman,

That’s me.

So then she told us to change the nouns and adjectives in the line of poetry to another noun or adjective with the same first letter. Enter wontons… here is my poem.

I’m a wonton

Perfectly.

Perfect wonton,

That’s me.

Me in your soup

Creating that crispy crunch

Watch me float and dance

While you stir the hot, hot soup.

Sip or Spoon, dripping, dripping,

You know I make it better.

I’m a wonton

Perfectly.

Perfect wonton,

That’s me.
