Give Me Dessert

creamy cheesecake inches deep  
red strawberry crowned,
mounds of whipped chocolate fluff  
cresting almond cake,  
maple pecan pie
sticky crunch-
yum!

BEST DESSERT, hands down. Anything pumpkin just didn't make my top three!! Also, you crafted this so well. commas in all the right places and just very deliciously described. BIG congrats in my contest.I had hoped dessert would show beneath the main course (natural order of things), but you got the top billing!!
