Notes About The Poem

I have made every effort to bold this work.                     
If one magnifies the text that may seem more obvious.                 
Well, that's the plan.

 

Cheesecake

C uisine on a spoon or plate for afters
H eaven coats my tongue the dish of masters
E asy peasy recipe so sweet
E xtra portion swallowed what a treat
S auce swirls, noisettes, a blob or two of cream
E arthly pleasure, luxury or dream
C hoose a honey pot ye sweet tooth diners
A sk a chef making tummy liners
K eep gorging comfort food for goodness sake
E  at yourself hearty this stuff takes the cake

A man after my own heart. I adore cheesesake and you described it wonderfully. Sorry to get your poem late on the winner list. I had somehow forgotten to put a few of my winners through to the final round. Now it's taken care of . Congrats.

I’m in tears, Andrea. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for reading a work I invested so much of myself in. There is absolutely no need to apologise whatsoever. I enjoyed the contest, Howard

Howard, this is a very clever and enjoyable poem ... and a RHYMED acrostic, at that.

Sara, Whilst my diet is very healthy, lean meat, fish, vegetables, dairy products, etc I have been advised that I can include some vices too. Your insights on my stories and poems have been invaluable to me. Thanks again for your visit, Howard
