First of all I changed the name after I wrote a poem to go in the painting. Tucked under the plate and catching the breeze slightly. I had really looked hard at the painting’s composition which called for something in play as well as needing better balance. So I wrote this poem:
Sweet Recipe
Unread red text, plated with
Blushing roses,
~not upstaging~
the thickly frosted
Cinnamon rolls.
Evening allure sweetens
In curtain skirt
Sweet recipe
I added more blush to the roses and some more depth to the cinnamon roll frosting to tone down the bright they’d become especially after “tucking” the note in under the plate.
