Seven Layers

To taste your tender essence once again Springy, warm, lovely vanilla infused Once more to travel the road to attain A delightful thin slice of fudge suffused Memories how they cling to your presence Maybe create sweet impressions of my own Lasting through time, problems, awesome pleasance Could my life continue through a subtle sweet tone Seven layer fudge frosted cake still draws A picture in the mind's eye of mother In the kitchen cooking without a pause My life, her presence did surely color Memories of seven layer fudge iced cake To my humble grave assuredly take Written: October 25, 2015 My parents 96th wedding anniversary Inspired by Olive Eloisa Guillermo's contest All This Melts In Your Mouth Since I am now a diabetic, I can only rarely eat a treat like this and also I have problems with the chemicals in cocoa irritating my heart rhythm..

Mom's cakes were always the best! How they ever got so many layers together without the cake breaking apart amazed me. I can't even get one out of the pan. Wonderful write and congrats on your win. Nice job, Sara.

Sara, we both love the way you did this poem... fluid flow of the lines, descriptive!!! I like the double meaning of "all that melts in your mouth here", the description of the fudge plus the loving memory of your mom.....BIG CONGRATULATIONS!~Olive Eloisa =`)
