Just after I had seen lurker #1 ...

Ummm... this and a few other pomes (to follow later)
to observe the visit of a lurker pup to my native city. <G>

And it may even find some semblance to a dessert that
was observed down in Orlando this weekend... <g>

Technically, this is 18, but I'm sorta skippin' over the other ones to let
this one through first. <g> somethin' between 15-17 will follow later.

Fudge Brownie Cheesecake... - May 27, 2000

The slow dribble
drips carefully
and we are watching
in near-captive
fascination.

In a pool of white,
the dark chocolate lies
in swirls and shimmering
lights.

As you slice away at
the mound of white,
it slowly melts
along the edge...

The slow descent
of light ice cream
and dark chocolate
draws our attention
away from that
intensely red cherry
that lay nestled
in the cradle
of white cream.

A short lick
and a white moustache
is all that is left.

... to Lurker #1, who travelled a thousand miles
