February 2006 Theme ~ "Chocolate"

Our February Contest Theme was "CHOCOLATE". Our assignment was to write any kind of poem we chose, as long as it was in some way about chocolate. So make yourself a cup of cocoa, grab that box of chocolate-covered cherries, and have fun reading through the following poems....

Congratulations to our February winners!



Chocolate Bliss

Pretty girl in pretty clothes,
Pink and white with little bows,
What a pretty picture she
Presents for all the world to see!

But wait!  On closer look, we see
There's something wrong....what could it be?
Chocolate ring around her mouth,
Chocolate on her pretty blouse....
Chocolate fingers, chocolate nose,
Chocolate smeared from head to toes....

But please forgive her, mama, do,
Remember that she's only two....
And wants to give you, in her bliss,
The sweetest little chocolate kiss!

A Day Filled With Chocolate

I wish that I would never be,
A chocolate addict, you guessed, that’s me.
Up in the morning first thing that I grab,
Is a piece of chocolate I just have to have.
I shower and dress and head off fast to work,
As I reach for more chocolate in the pocket of my shirt.
I sit at my desk and my thoughts become dreamy,
Of chocolate, any color, just something real creamy.
Its lunch and I'm hungry I sit and I ponder,
Is there a main course in chocolate I wonder.
My break comes up fast, I rush to get coffee,
My chocolate this time is a piece of English toffee.
My day almost over I rush out the door,
Head out to my car and rush down to the store.
It’s supper time, but I don’t care, I grab M&M's,
They're colorful and tasty I just love those cute gems.
Its time to rest now and all that I've done,
Is from morning to night eat chocolate what fun!
Chocolate consumes me I simply can't miss,
My favorite of all, a Hershey hug and kiss.

When In A Mood....Eat Comfort Food

When I woke up this morning I should've stayed in bed
For I knew it was "one of those days" I felt like the living dead.

It started out just fine until hubby walked in the room,
He told me I looked beautiful and I nearly blew a fuse!

From then it went from bad to worse as I dropped the kids at school,
I went for some retail therapy but only lost my cool;

When someone else bought the last pair of shoes that were in stock
I wrestled with her for them but was only kicked out the shop.

So I came home in a worse mood than I'd been in before
And it didn't get any better when I couldn't open the door,

I pushed and shoved with all my might but it simply wouldn't give
So I screamed and kicked and made a scene in front of where I lived.

Within a moment I discovered I was using the wrong key
And soon I found myself back indoors sighing with relief,

But at dinner time there were complaints about what I had served,
A tin of beans, a can opener and a candy bar for dessert.

But after the kind of day I had they should be thankful for
I'd even bothered to go that far and serve anything at all!

Then hubby asked me innocently did I have PMS?
And if I wasn't eating chocolate I'd have punched him in the head!
