Bernard Friot gives readers a charge on Day 100 of The Aspiring Poet’s Journal to write a poem as a text message. Since I’m not a big text-er (and don’t pay for them), I thought this would be a challenge. My poem is about the hot fudge sundaes I created to ring in the new year. (Doesn’t sound exciting? Well, we had quite a bit of snow here in Providence, so we stayed in!)
Note: Starting next Friday, any original Poetry Friday Submissions I write will be housed at 365 Memories, Poems, and Slices of Life. Today it appears on both blogs. 🙂

Yum! And fun. I learned several new terms.
Umm…not good for my new eating plan, though!

What a cute idea to use texting lingo for the poem (I had to look a few up! I’m a terrible texter).
Mmmmm, those sundaes look pretty good…
