I loved reading this. I too am a sucker for chocolate. Your descriptive words made my mouth water. Perfect in imagery.
As for being decadent, I truly am when it comes to chocolate.
Well done!
Best wishes,
Mary

    MY challenge is between chocolate and one other thing, best left unmentioned. :-O

I am with you all the way here Tom as chocolate is a favourite treat for me too and I always have it in my refrigerator and eat it regularly. We have Cadbury's chocolate in the UK and they have a day out at Cadbury world and I have the most amazing time and brought home bags of the stuff! My favourite chocolate is from Belgium and I have visited just to bring home chocolate! A fine free write and I am now craving chocolate for breakfast! Love Dolly x

Very appealing poem in tribute to chocolate. I never used to go for chocolate much, but the older I get the more I enjoy it. Must keep it for a special treat though! Well done, thanks for sharing. Should have gone in the "Temptations" contest!

    Missed Temptations. I always look for a contest possibility but saw no such 'Temptations' to be. Thanks.

D-delightful poem. You would love to spend New Year's Eve in France. Their favourite starter for the festive meal is oysters and other shellfish, but their favourite food remains best quality chocalate. So for between meal treats they sell seafood-shaped chocolates, drizzled over with white chocalate to represent the sauce. Imagine. kay

    Deliciously fine review, Katherine. May your day drip with chocolaty flavor, but leave an oyster for me, please.

This work has reached the exceptional level

boy, am I with you! Do you like chocolate sea salt caramels? divine.
This is a great poem which I could identify with all the way through. Also, in reading your bio, where you say you're a patriot who cries at the playing of our anthem, reminded me of Toby Keith's song Happy Birthday America - which does the same to me. Have you heard it?
Got to go to bed and I'll probably dream about chocolate.
Great poem!
Katharine

    Deliciously fine remarks, Poem Lover. May your day drip with chocolaty flavor. I believe I have not had chocolate sea salt caramels, and yes, I've listened to Toby's song. Isn't he ill these days?

    Oh, I don't know. My daughter is the big country fan and she got me listening, and I like some of it. That song, though, really got me.
    Sea Salt caramels are pretty yummy!

Oh, Tom, you took me there. The background color of chocolate drove it all home. The references to texture are brilliant - smooth, lumped, nutty. I don't see a lot of writing that captures taste or texture, so this was a delight and I am heading for some chocolate right now.

    Deliciously fine review, Dolly. May your day drip with chocolaty flavor, but maintain control. Once I get started, the bottom of the jar rises quicker than I should allow.

A wonderful ode to chocolate. The flow is good. The images are clear. The richness of chocolate flows through it. The presentation is superb.

The only suggestion is that at the end you might find another cliche to use. The thought of chocolate-covered oysters is disturbing and sets my teeth on end.

Thanks for sharing a good read.

    Unless you try it ... Well, it may be over the top, but that's where I wanted to punctuate the point of these delectable goodies.

Wow... Great poem. I loved reading this. Your descriptive words made this poem rich in theme, and great imagery. The way that you described chocolate made me hungry for anything chocolatey. The flow of your words and combination of your descriptions were done perfectly. Let me say that I agree definitely with the last part of your poem. I have no bias when it comes to decadent either. Thank you for sharing.
