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...
