Notes About The Poem
Andrea Dietrich's 'Time for Dessert - Acrostic Challenge 2' Contest

BROWNIES


B ewitched by the tempting flavor of cocoa 
R ave I must about sweet butter drips and nuts; 
O ozing with moist squares of fluffy treat
W here my tongue rolls from sinful pleasure:
N ibble after nibble, I quiver from  desire,
I nviting senses to bite through rich, dark, curves
E nthralled by eve's  delicacies...Oh, I
S ubmit to an indulgent craving ...untamed!

Nette, What a delicious acrostic! And what a great last line here in this poem.

Dear Nette, there is a distinct intensity in the word "untamed." We spend so much of our energy curating our lives and maintaining a disciplined front, but the sensory pull of a "dark curve" or a "sinful pleasure", oh how thin that veneer actually is. I’ve sat with that kind of surrender before, an honest, visceral piece of humanity. Blessings, Nette, Daniel
