Menupoems: the idea
by Esther Cohen

If you could were able had occasion
with the right word
albacore, amphibian, even elevator
to write on a menu
replacing unappetizing
too many eee’s entrée no adjectives not even
fantastic dessert, what would your words be?
Today, anyway, I want ecstasy.

Esther Cohen, Menupoems Editor
