An Ode To Chocolate Poem by Catherine Habbie
An Ode To Chocolate
O what is this that doth taste so sweet
Wrapped in nuts, making life complete?
Tis cocoa, butter and sugar neat
Little drops of divine delight
Quickly keep them away from sight
Gobbled up soon tis the plight
Some are milk and some are dark
Each competing to surpass the mark
Perfect to eat in the park
There is fruit, Belgian and Swiss
One to satisfy every miss
But the best are chocolate kisses
Some are beautifully tinged
But tongues get cruelly singed
When we embark on this binge
Tastes like food from the Ryls
As my mouth with chocolate fills
And from my soul ensues a trill
Those with toffee
Some with coffee
Don't dare laugh ye
Even if to my teeth it clings
My heart benignly begins to sing
Just one more, one chocolate ring
Those with yummy peppermint
They seem to have a curious tint
Accompanying us on a long stint
Then there are truffles
Hush and muffle
Control your sniffles
Let the chocolate quotient be, I say
sufficient unto the day
I will have no other pleasure today
An entertaining poem about the temptations of chocolate. Well done. I like the rhyming pattern of three lines in a row.
Great rhyming and I really enjoyed reading. The only problem now is that I have a chocolate craving and no chocolate.
Well expressed thoughts and feelings nicely embellished with poetic rhyme and rhythm. A beautiful work of art ceremoniously rich in tone. Thanks for sharing, Catherine.
Fantastic poem on a very sweet topic. The treatment of the subject brings out its merits and the variety of ways it can entice every child or a grown up alike. Thank you so much. It goes into MyPoemList.
