The Devilish Chocolate Cake For Contest

The devilish chocolate cake entices me to devour
I want to resist, the temptation just too much
Teasing me with layers of heavenly chocolate, black, milk and white
Texture reminiscent of the finest velvet
Sending every sensory nerve into submission
Its moist sponge is ready and waiting
The twang of red berry jam compliments the sweetness
Beads of sweat appear on my brow
As I relish in the flavours so divine
Pure indulgence aplenty, I savour every mouthful
Cloaked in a creamy chocolate delight 
Each slice contains a billion calories or more
I don't care, it was so worth it, no crumb left unturned 
And I sit back with a completely satisfied smile

James Inman November 1, 2015 at 10:56 PM Sarah, sounds like a variation on a Black Forest Cake. Lovely write, but I think the cake would put me in a chocolate coma. Sarah Bryant November 25, 2015 at 9:45 AM Thank you James, I love any cake, except orange flavoured but the chocolate cake is my favourite :)

Olive Eloisa Guillermo - Fraser November 1, 2015 at 8:16 PM Sarah, Imagery wise this one that separates you from the other, the use of the word devilish is very wise, as sweets are devils to us in a way: those who are in diet, with diabetes, to children and more!!! BIG CONGRATULATIONS!~Olive Eloisa =`) Sarah Bryant November 25, 2015 at 9:43 AM Thank you Olive, I apologise for the late reply, I have been up to my neck in work! I always imagine a little red devil telling me to eat something I am trying not to, like the angel v devil scenario :) Thank you for placing me, I enjoyed writing it and it made me hungry :)
