Notes About The Poem

Written 19th January 2025

Cravings Flaming

 My cravings flaming in a dumpster fire
Ridding me of my secret heart’s desire
Every chocolate bar
All candies in a jar
Gone so the raver in me can transpire.

Beryl, I'm seeing the fire and wondering if it would be just that simple to stop cravings. We have such a desperate society! Hope you are well and smiling!! Thanks for this very cute read!

Hi Andrea, to be honest unwanted sweets and chocolates I only have to put in our owners lounge and they are gone in a flash. Burning chocolates would be a sin, when there’s those that can’t resist it, and possibly can’t afford it… Beryl

A little treat is quite okay, just as long as you don't indulge everyday, wish you well in the contest sister Beryl. xx

Contest? Thank you brother John, I agree, a treat now and again shouldn’t do any harm, and can be a soothing balm… Sis Beryl

Hi Beryl: I still have a bag of Moose Munch I haven’t opened yet. Can you please tell me where this dumpster is located ???? lol Fun poem.

Hi Suzanne, the dumpster is in the yard, here in the Uk, you’re welcome to share the fire, though distance makes it a difficulty. Thank you, Beryl
