A Sweet Suite

I quiver from bliss with this prelude to my joy sweet upon my lips. . . the icing that I licked from the top of my Cinnabon. The day of his birthday, and I tried to make a yummy dessert that would be a surprise. I sweetened cream cheese for the top of the cake and kept tasting it. . . . Did not realize it nearly had vanished in front of my eyes! Chocolates and pastries and ice cream and pies - They’re sweet to my taste buds but not to my thighs. My Three forms for the Contest are Tanka/ English Quintain/ Couplet
