Whimsical

For Ellie Hoovs' Unofficial Wonderland Poetry Prompts Challenge and a recipe you may want to try at home

By Rachel DeemingPublished about a year ago • Updated about a year ago • 1 min read

Take a touch of quirkiness

And sprinkle it on an idea;

Make it twee but don't overdo it,

Just a pinch, to taste.

Gently stir with humour

Until light and fluffy,

Soft smirks visible

With a swirl of childish delight.

A shake of the head

Confirms the presence of whimsy

But is not essential for flavour.

Serve warm on a plate

Decorated with flamingoes

And a peacock feather garnish.

Voilà!
