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

Space Cadet Date: 1/4/2017 7:15:00 AM 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.

Dipping fruit into the chocolate sauce was my job I enjoyed doing. Now a memory.Your welcome.
