Today I am sharing a poem from my eBook, available on Amazon, Tasty Treasures & Edible Pleasures. I hope you enjoy it as it reminds me that we are in that time of year where we might share and enjoy a few sweets over the holiday season with others...

Ladies, Do You Like Your Chocolate Bitter or Sweet?

Certainly a favourite thing I delight in to eat,

Is a delicious confection I find rather sweet,

You ladies out there know of what I speak,

Why it's chocolate, of course, a lady's fave sinful sweet.

I love that it melts in my mouth tasting so divine,

Calories be damned, I'm floating up here on Cloud 9,

It's a lady's food staple and is that not fully understood?

Is it not like wine, a rite of passage and womanhood?

I love when it's dark, more of a richer flavoured chew,

I also like the lighter sweetness of white chocolate, too,

But I'll admit it's milk chocoate I prefer to sink my teeth into,

Being an exquisitely and perfectly balanced sweet, melty chew.

So Ladies, do you like your chocolate bitter or sweet,?

What is your sinfully-secret chocolate treat?

What is the shade of chocolate you most like to eat?

Though I surmise any selection makes your day complete.
