ALL FOR CHOCOLATE by Granny Annie
Laying in the grass
Gazing at the stars
Stuffing my mouth
With Mars
candy bars,
Sudden wet sprinkles
Caused me to refrain
And run inside from
The pouring rain.
No way could
I begin to quell
The candy desire...
The chocolate smell
So I ventured out
Into the rushing flood
Risking life and limb
Scratches bringing blood.
I was filled with fear
Fighting the undertow.
End of life felt like drifting
Softly on a moon shadow.

This looks so hard!
ReplyDeleteTabor, are you kidding? You could cinch this. Most write stories and not poetry but you would rock both.
ReplyDeleteAnother thing Tabor...I never read any of the other writings until mine is done for fear of having my thoughts influenced. Just look at the words and let your story evolve.
ReplyDeleteI would do that...for chocolate. ;-)
ReplyDeleteI love how you worked chocolate into your poem. :) You are so good at this!
ReplyDeleteYou are great with words. Even chocolate would not have gotten such nice poem from me.
ReplyDeleteAlways amazed at how you look at those words and picture and see chocolate. Such a fertile mind you have.
ReplyDeleteLoved the twist to your ending. Brilliant use of the words. Again.
ReplyDeleteI am not good at this sort of thing! But you are.
ReplyDeleteYep, we grow up to do crazy stuff for chocolate!
ReplyDeleteYou're just going to have to leave those Mars bars alone, Annie!! :)
ReplyDeleteAs usual...a terrific use of the words...well done! :)
Granny Annie. Nicely done you wicked Chocoholic.
ReplyDeleteI love this poem and left a comment at Carolyn's saying just that.
ReplyDeleteI've discovered that I'm able to leave chocolate alone now, more than I eat it.
Beautiful!
