The Chocolate Twist

A bakery on each corner
I remember in my youth
As Cinnamon floats on air
En route to my sweet tooth

The double dip of honey
On a ring of dough and glaze
Could summon my direction
Through a concrete city maze

Glass displayed the treasure
Of powdered edible jewels
Flavors beyond measure
Consumed my walks to school

One thing I’ll remember
As long as I exist
The sweet, braided confection
Of my favorite, the Chocolate Twist

In addition to being a scrumptious little poem... it's delightful visually, aromatically and for the tastebuds...
