Louise's 4-Flavor Cheesecake Hex

I do love cheese!
Jeez, Louise,
what artistry I see.
A scrumptious luscious fresh confection
waits here just for me. 

It’s fine, so fine
and looks divine.
What an awesome feat -
to make dessert that looks almost
too beautiful to eat!

Oh, what a cake!
For heaven’s sake,
it’s like a rainbow pie. . . 
You’ve got it quartered up real nice
in different colors. My!

It’s four in one;
son of a gun!
One part blueberry blue.
There’s cherry red, rum-drizzled (yum)
And chocolate flavored too.

It’s first to blue
I say “I do”
and take a hearty bite.
Ooh la la LA! My tongue awakes
to magical delight!

On to red. . . 
Am I now dead?
Nirvana, here am I!
Near bliss achieved with baked sweet cheese
and mounds of cherries. . . . (sigh)

The color cream
with rum. . . a dream!
I think I’m in a trance.
This cheesecake is half gone now.
Let me loosen up my pants!

The dark and sweet 
is left to eat.
What decadence! What sin!
This double trouble chocolate
has completely done me in.

You say each day
we’ll eat this way?
You’ve put on me a hex. . . 
I’ve got to have you for my wife.
Your cheesecake outdoes sex!

Well, either I haven't had cheese cake so good, or you need to find a better sex partner. LOL. Loved the poem. This is a fun read and that is what I like in a poem. Too many poems I have to read five times to figure out what it means. I liked this poem. Thanks for sharing it. Joe

ZOUNDS! MOUNDS of cheesecake. Do you realize that just one small wedge is worth almost half your allowed daily calorie count? I'm sure you had fun writing this one. I know I enjoyed (burp) reading it. Love, Dave

Very well done Andrea. My hex vote goes for the 4th Qtr slice. Chocolate or sex... before, during, after one another. The combinations and permutations are only limited by ones' imagination. So I've been told.

Dear Andrea: WOW, what a fantastic poem. I liked the reference 2 Nirvana (1 of my favorite bands) and the line that cheesecake outdoes sex (but sex (in marriage) burns off calories, lol). Thanks so much (again) 4 taking the time 2 read and comment on my poem. Yours truly: Sheol
