Skat A Poet Villanelle

Chocolate Fountain

Chocolate Fountain Abuse- for the lover 

How easily I forget I'm allergic to chocolate
I want to dip the exquisite kosher in a Spanish brandy
Sweet, sweet, cavity tarnish boxes of chocolate

At a store window; a dried up chocolate fantasy goblet
A taste of spoiled milk, nothing dandy with this candy
How easily I forgot I was allergic to chocolate

Snickers Bar, melting under the spotlight for-profit
Not edible, waging unassertive words like a pansy
Sweet, sweet, cavity tarnish boxes of chocolate

Chocolate pop, a candy bar coming out of the closet
There was not much bandy, about this candy
It's easy to forgot I'm allergic to chocolate

Stubby nuts, stomachache, bucket of vomit
Butterflies, flipping when I hear a faucet of cocoa candy
Sweet, sweet, cavity tarnish boxes of chocolate

Enrobed with small nuts, it dwells under the pocket
Caramel and peanuts American walnut vigilante
How easily I forgot I was allergic to chocolate
Sweet, sweet, cavity tarnish boxes of chocolate

Darlene De Beaulieu September 24, 2019 at 1:32 PM Hello Skat A. just by reading this poem I now crave chocolate. I will buy some on the weekend. Have you always been allergic to chocolate? So when you want something sweet,what do you reach for? Have a nice day my friend.

Heather Secrest June 1, 2019 at 7:50 AM I LOVE THIS POEM!! I am allergic to chocolate too!! It is a cause for an instant stomachache and given it is too rich or too much, always vomit, but I didnt go fully chocolate free until last year because of this exact problem!!! I love it! Thank you! ~Heather

Freddie Robinson Jr. October 5, 2016 at 1:18 PM A very cool and ultra-creative poem, Skat A. I loved it, literally and gastronomically. Good food for thought. Excellent wit and self-deprecation. You have such an imaginative mind. I think I know what a villanelle poem should look like, probably have to read a couple more though. Love your fine poetic tapestry. Ty for sharing. Much love to you and yours.

Robert Grappel August 24, 2016 at 9:41 AM I really like this poem -- perhaps because I read it near lunchtime! My wife was a professional pastry chef for 15 years, and my first job as a boy was operating a soda fountain. Wonderful "tasty" imagery.

Vladislav Raven January 16, 2016 at 8:32 PM You do know that i am now hungry again. Loved this one. I know i should have stayed away when i did read the title. That chocolate fountain becomes a mountain in my imagination. No, i have to go and eat now, self control is something i am just no good at. Excellent once again Skat. A definite seven. Your Friend....Vladislav.

Edwina Aleme January 7, 2016 at 11:21 PM Wow, Skat! The sweetness of this poem attracted me, now I have a sweet tooth for more. I love this vilanelle. Beautifully written.

Robyn Campbell December 30, 2015 at 6:46 PM Love your Chocolate Fountain, SKAT. I feel like this after eating Christmas candy. Stomachache royale. I read it over twice. It makes me feel good.

Emile Pinet June 23, 2015 at 1:51 PM Congratulations on a well deserved second. I think that you have a sweet tooth and love indulging in a box of chocolates. The senses are aroused and the temptation is too much as you long to savor each sinful morsel. Emile. #7
