W3 :: Comfort

Overjoyed by the taste

Fortunate comfort
Over the weekend
Restoring my energy
To go ahead with the chores

An acrostic poem for this week’s W3. It was Halloween last week, and I have lots of chocolate bars leftover since not many kids showed up. So, I guess, I’ll have “comfort” for many weeks ahead 🙂

  8. You’ve created a cohesive, tight poem by using the acrostic form but I’d have liked a little more feeling, with more lush, sensory details. Instead of general statements, I’d have liked descriptions that evoke the feeling of eating quality chocolate. I offer a revised version, based on observations of watching my wife indulge in chocolate.

    Chocolate
    On her tongue, it softens slow as dusk light over warm stone,
    Melting into dark velvet, rich and deliberate.
    Faint bitterness balances sweetness, a subtle negotiation,
    Offering mind and body a small sigh of release.
    Roasted cocoa wraps her, a remembered embrace,
    Thick with comfort enough to bear another day.

      1. I wasn’t sure whether to post it or not. I didn’t want to take away from your efforts but I felt there was a lot more that could be said. Thanks for the positive response.
