Making Chocolates

My husband enjoyed making chocolates We would make a huge quantity Then when done go to the market Only when the small market had space To sell all our chocolates on market day I enjoyed to melt the chocolate It came in chunks or rounds pieces Then cut up pieces of figs, dates,and ginger I enjoyed doing that the best To dip into the chocolate sauce When all harden it would be All ready to be neatly packaged Ready to travel to market Soon to be sold to the public On the market day

A good way to make money and meet new people. I hope you didn't eat all the chocolate before you sold it.

I love how your poems provide a clear, concise description of a moment, of a slice of life, that can sometimes be easily overlooked or not written about in poetry. The simple pleasures of life can tell us so much about our joys living in the Now, providing us with so much happiness. Your poems share those pleasures. Thank you for sharing -- Wesley C.

That is a lovely comment, when my husband was alive we made chocolates for special events, go to the outdoor market and sell them. Dipping fruit into the chocolate sauce was my job I enjoyed doing. Now a memory.Your welcome.
