Summary: Challenge of 'chocolate' in Flash Poetry - a swift response!




I choose
to ignore you completely;
I can,
because you now mean nothing
to me.

Your smooth
velvet coat leaves me quite cold
because
despite your efforts to tempt
me, I

resist.
Bluberries, apples, grapefruit,
salads
satisfy my needs right now.
Diets

are not
an option in my lifestyle,
whereas
healthy living means much more
to me.

Kitkat,
Aero, Dairy Milk, Topic,
Snickers,
Celebrations, Golden Cup,
Wispa

all mean
nothing. Absolutely zilch
because
I can live without the taste.
Just one

last fling
before I finally give
in. Just
the feel of chocolate melting
slowly

in my
mouth, on my lips, in places
I could
never mention normally.
Just ...... bliss....
