Cream cheese frosting? You have my vote. But seriously, I so appreciate your monostitch because I'm finding out the truth of it the older I get. Best of luck with the contest.

Comment from Sandra du Plessis
A very well-written Monostich poem about the last thing to finish the cake is the icing on the cake and it is swee and most people enjoy the sweetness of the icing.

Comment from Dawn Munro
Ha! I'm not so sure about that... Wait a minute... Yep. You're right. Everything that went before DOES seem sweeter.(Had ya goin', dint I? LOL) Yum, cream cheese icing -- my favourite. Eat dessert first. Life is short. :)) (Great one-liner.)

Glad you enjoyed this one, ma'am -- I have to say, I'm enjoying a bit of icing myself in the form of actually being able to 'breathe' and not have everything weighing on me all the time...:) ;)

Comment from Debbie Pope
I could use a little of that icing today. And, a little of your optimistic spirit would not hurt either.
I love your upbeat poem. Your title does serve to boost the meaning of your words. You fit the humor requirement as well.
Good luck in the contest.

I am viewing this in Classic Fanstory, but you may want to check. As stated in the contest announcement, a monostich is a poem with only one line. My screen shows this as two lines. You may still have time to fix it. Good luck in the contest.

Thank you for your review and suggestion of using a smaller font -- it is all one line now!

I love metaphoric reference and treat of human nature telling the story of love for sweet; this speaks our common nature and attitude toward living enjoyment of sweet makes the matter; well said, well done. Keep Writing Inspire Changing! -- DR ALCREATOR

Comment from tfawcus
It sounds as if you have earned a bit of sweetness in your latter days! This makes rather a good metaphor and I love the concept. You possibly don't want my interference on this, but it struck me that the message might have more impact if the sentence were shorter... "In the cake of life, the icing is sweetest" might be going too far but I always find it an interesting exercise to take as many words out of my writing as possible, without destroying the meaning.
