Best Dessert Poems

One ice cream sundae
Swirled with whipped cream and a cherry on the top
Sitting temptingly in a tall glass
But you were out of reach
I could see you through the window of the restaurant
Melting away in front of my eyes 
Like your life was ebbing away from...

creamy cheesecake inches deep  
red strawberry crowned,
mounds of whipped chocolate fluff  
cresting almond cake,  
maple pecan pie
sticky crunch-
yum!

Oh, give me cake with double chocolate
And strawberry with sweetened cream whipped stiff.
And if you have a cake named butter nut,
I’ll have that too. For just a little whiff
of carrot cake with pineapple thrown in,
I’ll go bananas!  Come to think of it,
I might as...

DESSERT TABLE

Yes, it’s a beautiful spread
A tantalizing sight
With not Cezanne depth or solidity, but
Our hostess’ fond delight

She’s gathered not justs -
Not just cakes, cheeses and fruit
But a famous pot of snowball flowers,
A tall bottle of ultra-expensive wine, to boot

Now witness her many noted guests
Completely sated,...

I watched the golden sunset, thinking love was out of reach
until you walked into my life as waves rolled on the beach.

I vaguely remember my yesterdays, the things I used to do.
My happiness is overwhelming, and it's all because of you.

I know the taste of...

Dessert, A Memory You Have, Balloons

(We Met, We Soared And You Flew Away) 

A memory we have of our passionate first night
where candles burned almost as hot as our bed.
Can not forget, sweet lust found in your sight,
memorable treasures now resting within my head!

Your joy...

Is a dessert costing twenty-five grand what you want?
You can find it in a Manhattan Upper East Side restaurant.
Made with twenty-one types of chocolate and sprinkled gold leaf,
this decadent frozen mousse is something beyond belief.
It comes in a twenty-three carat diamond-encrusted gold dish.
If you found...

by the moonlight i
take long sips of
its celestial white silk, and
follow the cookie path to
heaven, or
to hell, so
delicious, filled with
lemon cream, and

under the lemonade sun, i
sit upon the donut of
chocolate with sprinkles, a
smile steeped with
jelly and cream, a
beacon of
my childhood dream, but

i must consider the
day...

Reading my son’s graduation dinner menu
It filled me with consternation
Will I make a foolish choice …
I’m full of trepidation

My favourite dessert is on the list
It’s stiffie cockie pudding
Oops – there I go I meant sticky toffee pudding
If I make my spoonerism – I hope and...

Cyril the short-sighted cook,
Misread the recipe book,
It said add custard
But he instead added mustard,
The hot dessert made everyone crook....

Many many years ago
When I was very small
We attended a wedding in Amsterdam
This memory I recall

Jan and Astrid had got married
Balloons decorated the wedding hall
Wedding favours were scattered on the table …
Sugared almonds, I could have eaten them all!

The wedding breakfast was served
We had all...

Trapped in the Sahara dessert

Overlook at the horizon,
Waves of the heat from the boiling sun,
Dessert sand covering my feet,
Sweat dripping down my back,
Thanks to the north western breeze.

The sand dunes stare at me,
As the sun slowly goes to sleep.
Darkness takes over,
And the owls decide to...

I counted each bone in your fingers as you ran them through my hair..
your lips played a merry tune I almost knew., 
and the soft warm winds blew through us, 
in horizontal horizons too vast to comprehend. 

The flowers in the field looked on, drenched...

I will not forget,
my grandmother's gentle, loving, gnarled touch;
those hands that I loved so very much,
not a day spent with her I will regret.
          We made chocolate cake,
        ...
