An Ode To Chocolate Poem by Catherine Habbie

An Ode To Chocolate

Rating: 5.0


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.
