Kelly Deschler Poet Quatrain

Sweet Mystery

Marshmallow or caramel?
raspberry or peanut butter?,
sweet mystery in a box 
my heart all a'flutter 

Cupid has found me 
the sweetest heart, 
my perfect match 
pierced with his dart 

Chocolate hearts 
are so easy to melt, 
not so easy to break 
and no pain to be felt 

Just say you will 
only be all mine, 
just say you will 
be my valentine 

On February 14th 
be the perfect gift, 
be the only reason 
my frown will lift 

Diamonds do sparkle 
to entice the eye, 
but chocolate can 
so deeply satisfy 

Red roses so lovely 
eventually wilt,
but chocolate can 
promise undying guilt 

Yes, it too disappears 
but I can get more, 
with a quick trip 
to a corner store!

Harry Horsman March 9, 2020 at 2:02 AM Wow a chocolate buff, love the poetry, now off to the pantry, for my Kit-Kat. Kelly Deschler January 26, 2021 at 5:05 PM Thank you Harry... Kit-Kats are a favorite of mine, too :) ... Please forgive my late reply, but I haven't been on Poetry Soup as much these days...

Mark Peterson March 7, 2020 at 8:58 PM I've learned never to fully trust anyone who doesn't like chocolate. And I would hold anyone in disregard who didn't enjoy this poem. And besides, it's such a cool word, being one of a very few that comes to us from the Aztec, chocolatl: bitter water. Indeed, it is drunk unsweetened elsewhere and us delicious. Kelly Deschler January 24, 2021 at 11:59 AM Thank you once again for your kind comments Mark... So glad you enjoyed reading this one :)
