In honor of this hot chocolate (and all of the delicious chocolate in this country), I've decided to hold a contest. To enter, you have to write an original poem and leave it as a comment on this blog entry. It can be any kind of poem and any length, but it must somehow be about chocolate! I will choose the winner over the weekend, so make sure you post your poem by Friday. I will send the winning poet a delicious Australian chocolate candy bar, so get writing! This will be entertaining for me as well, because I love comments-ha!
My chocolate haiku:

ReplyDeleteChocolate is the very best.
ReplyDeleteI like Dove better then all the rest.
I hide a package in my drawer.
One is all I eat, but usually I want more.
I look forward to my singular treat during the day.
I never usually share or give it away.
There is a chocolate monster that lives in my house.
Most of you know that, he is my spouse.
So I will continue to hide my treats.
Even if it means, I must put them in my softball cleats .
But the wrappers, what should I do with them?
I guess I will have to put them in my hem.
Now you know my chocolate secret.
Please, please, please, don't tell anyone in my family so I can keepit.
I love it, Jean! You get my vote.

I never realized Jean is such a talented poet!
ReplyDeleteAnd Ray, where did you ever come up with all of those names of chocolate?

ReplyDeleteCollege Girls Plea
By: Chelsey and Katie
Chocolate in the morning
Chocolate at night
Chocolate is a sweet delight
Cookies, cakes and pies galore
Makes my heart cry out for more
Nutty, smooth, dark, caramel or crunchy
Doesn't matter because they all give us the munchies
Mrs. Fields chocolate chip cookies remind us of home
With a little Australian chocolate we wont feel so alone
We don't have much money because we are trying to obtain a college degree
So please send some chocolate to us Aubree
Awesome poem Chelsey and Katie.
ReplyDeletehard to argue with the pleas of poor college folk... :)
ReplyDeleteBetter late than never - can I still get in?
ReplyDeleteChocolate made of yummy stuff
We taste it with delight
The more we eat the more we want
Some say this isn't right
Chocolate looks so harmless
A smart smooth creamy block
With lots of little chunks to eat
All gone, well that's a shock
Chocolate does melt quickly
It runs between your fingers
Until you lick it all away
No fear it never lingers
Chocolate tries to tempt us
In its many colored pack
It tries to cause addiction
Being sure that we go back
Chocolate's simple pleasure
Enjoy it while you can
With waistlines now expanding
We've installed a chocolate ban
