Oh, Chocolate!
Thick and creamy ooey gooey
drippy drops dollops of rich
dark satin dabble it hot slurp it
lick it lap it sip it lovingly
chips and chunks bars nonpareils
swirl it twirl it fudgy syrupy sprinkled
double-filled slivers and shaves
how we rave
convicted addicted to the thick
twice-dipped ripples of delight
soothing balm to the palate
pudding truffles savor the flavor
covered over cherries
sundaes malts Cafe Mocha
mmmmmmmmm
cocoa beans are happy indeed!

Oh, I love this - how can you write such a cruel poem. I now have this awful craving...and I love your use of words 'ooey gooey drippy drops dollops'. Yum!
ReplyDeleteJuicy and cute! That's how I read it! Sheri
ReplyDeleteWhat a delightful poem, Marlene! You convey to the full the pleasures that can be derived by chocolate lovers. Personally, I don't go mad on chocolate (or sweets), but I enjoy a bar of dark chocolate from time to time. // paul

Marlene,
ReplyDeleteThis poem is as decadent and rich as good chocolate and pure delight to read. I feel as if I've gained 10 lbs. just in the reading.

Salivate at every word??? Maybe.
ReplyDeleteI'm not a huge chocolate lover, but you made me think yum, yum.
Thank you.
I will make a hot chocolate drink soon because of this.
ReplyDeleteIts your fault, I hope you know, that I am going to have to make myself some fudge, now that you "triple dipped into my chocolate cravings". Of course I take no blame and am always looking for a convenient scape goat. All kidding aside I loved your "ooey gooey", dripping with chocolate, poem. Thank you for sharing your wonderful talent.
ReplyDeleteLove, Charlene
Thank you, Robert Dufresne, for the following--
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness Marlene! By the time I finished drooling over the second verse, I had to put a bib on and fetch some napkins! I am there! What a delightful word caloric intake folded into this poem! Great job, Marlene.
