Poetry Monday :: Raspberry Cake Day

If you want to read some more, and better  poetry,  Diane - who has taken over the hosting of  this challenge - and Mimi of Messymimi's Meanderings - who also supplies us with topics - are writing wonderful, funny, thought-provoking, ingenious and honestly well written verse. Go and read.

  Karen of Baking in a Tornado has joined us in this crazy pursuit, and promises us at least a poem a month - may  we hope for more!
  SpikesBestMate often publishes a nice verse in the comments.

  Jenny at Procrastinating Donkey who has been a faithful participant, is taking a break due to her husband's passing from this world. Let's continue to send warm thoughts, good energy, and lots of prayers her way.

I have something more to ask of you: If you read this and the poetry of others, would you please leave a comment. Half - if not more - the fun of these challenges is receiving the responses of others.

Raspberry cake is a worthy subjedt, at least here in the Owlery, where no birthday celebration is perfect without at least one raspberry pie or Swiss roll with raspberry jam. We are celebrating 9 birthdays in a span of 5 weeks (beginning yesterday, but we celebrated Thursday), and I am still watching Le Tour and putting things there and back again hunting for moths, so only a short poem - a Haiku - from me this Monday.

Oh raspberry pie
pleasing and nice to the eye
and palate and nose
