Lunchtime by the Bay

CYNTHIA-MARIE O’BRIEN

I wrote this lighthearted piece for our Structured Poetry workshop. The sounds are meant to convey and conjure up vivid memories of enjoyable afternoons. Generation F is connected to earlier generations, celebrating their example.

Mary’s at the seat of her truck

Thinking that with some good luck

For her lunch today

She’ll eat at the bay.

The sun shines hot through the windshield

And she thinks that she will yield

To her appetite for a sandwich

Before she gets up to boogie bandwidth.

She drives to Kettle Cove

Where often she’s known to roam

Whoopie pie in her hand

She thinks of one demand:

We love our Amato’s

So full of tomatoes.
