Larry - you had me at meringue! ;) {from one sweet tooth to another lol!}

I really enjoyed this poem. I was curious to find out what it's about! I like how you defined happiness in the beginning.. it was an interesting take.

I love this part: "Seeking happiness is like
tasting chiffon spun cream:
so attractive, smells so sweet
but melts away threadbare"

From what I understood, I think you mean that happiness comes and goes, and could last a short time, like the taste of meringue... but you should still enjoy those moments.

Well that's my interpretation!

Great job!
