Chocolate and Wine

She don’t need much She don’t ask much Just a box of chocolate A bottle of Cabernet Sauvignon And life is delightfully delicious Diamonds are girls best friend and so is chocolate Chocolate is her daily dose her therapist her energy her happiness her love Come to think of it - Everything is good when made with chocolate Roses are red and so is wine Wine is feeling sooo fine keep calm happy thoughts Happy life drink more wine Come to think of it- The more you drink wine the better to help save water So there chocolate and wine A delicious sweet life Akkina Downing 11/13/20

Well why the hell not then Akkina. Indulge in life's sweet pleasures from time to time You seem like you deserve it. You commented on 1 of my poems and said of yourself , you are not much of a poet well i beg to differ from what i have read

Hello Akkina downing, I chose this poem to comment on. Why ? Because I make chocolates. I am a widow. I miss to cuddle up with a love one. So chocolate is my next comfort for now. I never had Belgian chocolates. Enjoy your day my friend.

LOL! I think California is trying to save water with wine cos we have more and more vineyards sprouting all over the place! Since you are a lover of chocolate and red vino...I suggest you try a Malbec with a Belgian Brix bar...the kind you have to stab with a knife like an icepick on a block of solidified water...heavenly! All the best to you in the New Year... :))

Hi Akkina, You have a truly distinct style of poetry, I like it very much and as for Chocolate and wine, what better, a Cabernet and a slab of Dairy Milk Chocolate white or brown, but the brown adds an exotic tone to it all!. So well penned. Hugs and blessings, Jennifer.

Enjoyed your musings on chocolate and wine, Akkina. I imagine that you go for chocoalate liqueur. I used to like to sip 'Sabra.' Don't know if you ever tried that brand. Cheers, Gershon

Actually I’ve never tried chocolate liquor nor that brand. I don’t even drink any other liquor... Yeah I’m boring... Lol! I eat Chocolates and drink wine, that’s about it. Not very adventurous on liquors... Lol!

I am so happy with my chocolate, and I used to like a tiny bit of wine once or twice a month. Drink it now while you can. At a certain age wine became something I could no longer digest. Like this one a bunch Akkina.
