Robbie’s Inspiration – Syllabic poetry Spin the Bottle week 4: Reverse Etheree and a birthday cake #poetry #cakeart

It has been an exciting week. Work is a madhouse currently so that has kept me juggling and Michael turned 19 on Thursday. He had a nice celebration at home yesterday with his friends. They swam and ate and ate. The cake was a success.

Here is a video I made of this cake:

This week, I selected a reverse etheree form for my poem:

Birthday celebration

Delicious chocolate and vanilla cake

Posing as a hamburger and chips

With blood-red tomato ketchup

Ideal for a summer’s day

Braaing around the pool

Making memories

Celebrating

Nineteen years

Special

Son

In South Africa, barbecuing is referred to as braaing.
