Wrong Again

I had never seen anything more beautiful.
The scape of it was
snow white and as light as clouds.
The golden heat might of undone
a lesser man but not me.
Let it burn baby let it burn.
This desert was the most beautiful
sight I had ever witnessed.
No one ever told me 
there were flowers in a desert.
I wondered what was underneath
if you got through that blanket of...
I imagined a chocolate raspberry mousse.
Was I hallucinating?
Maybe but who cared.
All my senses were alive.
I could smell it.
I could touch it.
Now I wanted to taste it.
The whip cream,
the flaming Grand Marnier,
the velvet textured...
What?
Desert has a double "s".
You mean Dessert.


..........ahhhh ****!

Obviously the same rules should apply to writing poetry as apply to food shopping. Never do it if you're hungry. Thanks for the chuckle. Now I have to go find something for desert....errr...dessert.

Thank you. I think I fixed the early tell. I think now the reader will kick in three quarters through which is where it should happen.
