Best Ganache Poems
"Bonjour, in the cocktail woods"
I see the waffled leaves of teal trees painting pink moon,
With diamond dahlia arcs, flowering an orchid boon
Sprinkling love of french perfumed spells and cocoa mystique,
Flickering in neon scented star seeds of rose-glossed antique
For, I'm the fragrant fluorescence of pure peace lilies,
Floating amidst dancing dove's glowing daisies
In a redolent riverbank, loving life like the sweet butter-sun,
Wandering in black forests, enveloping magic in red ribbons
Defrosting my white chocolate heart peeking through tinkles,
Singing beyond the glass petals of peony and snowdrop marvels;
Perhaps, plush strawberries too have starry scars,
On their silken ganache skin, bleached with calendula and mars
And my luscious butterscotch lips tremble at the blurry squeaks,
Ruffled by minty chills in my cherry-blushed cheeks
I search for addictive caffeine in gold-glazed dawns that bask,
Pouring nectarine reveries in lavender litchi hearts
Life's a bittersweet syrupy sea, coated with tangy rainbow hues,
Forlorn, this forbidden folklore is shaded with sycamore's adieus
They say, mocha pupils and vanilla haze of iris,
Can carve a melon hued watercolor portrait alive,
But I believe that the purest is never a sweet dessert survived,
In this delusional donut-shaped globe and tangerine beehive;
So, I shove my identity in Van Gogh's abstractly bejeweled canvas,
And let my caramel brown hair, gleam in golden hymns of aqua
Waving walnut "goodbyes" to velvet ochre sands and sapphire skies,
Forevermore, fluttering hummingbird's dreams in oscillating flamingo galaxies.

A jolt of caffeine and suddenly I'm all bright and chirpy
and on a cold day well its better then drinking a Slurpy
A sip of foamy latte and I grow a funny mustache
nicely served aside a delicate truffle ganache
A tete a tete with my favorite bestie at the local Cafe
just before we drink it, we bow our heads and pray
A coffee perks me up, right before my shift begins
it is the choice of Queens, and the beverage of kings.
Coffee !!!

Cheer frames my face with happy joy,
Hurl buoyant trace of fond employ,
Observe sweet grace that I enjoy.
Chocolate cake to tempt fond bites,
Outline grand take as senses cite,
Live finesse makes a tasty write.
Ask food treasures to keep sure taste,
Touch full measure to meet sheer haste,
Echo pleasure that knows no waste.
Glimpse the grandeur in fine wares,
Align splendour with precious fare,
Note endeavour beyond mere cares.
Aim fragrant poise to please the tongue,
Charming that choice in happy lungs,
Heap telling voice with taste far flung.
Each piece funds best that sensuous ease,
Claim blissful quest with actual peace,
Allow clear zest to move fine feast.
Keep precious bites in each new fit,
Explore deep cites with tasty bits,
See cake excite both fun and wit.

Sweet succinct smile
Moves mangled miles

Sneaky side steers
Snatch subtle stare

Drop deepens dream
Strange scary scheme
Aim apt aware
Bright blossoms bear
Feel floral form
Nurture nice norms
Tell thrilling tale

Once upon a time...
The story now says,
Happy moments rhyme
Warm feelings this way.
Beauty in a cake:
Chocolate ganache,
Fiesta in a bake
With clever panache.
Feel your taste buds speak:
In wonder's surprise,
Mouth feel greets fond peak
In flavours so nice.
Word of mouth reviews:
Treasure this fine bake,
If Michelin knew
Your chocolate cake!
A fond recipe:
Ann's chocolate cake,
Thick ganache funds spree,
A generous take!
A mix optimal:
In premium fashion,
So phenomenal,
Worthy of mention.
With this fine ganache,
A sure ecstasy,
Gobble up panache,
Happy meets easy!
A flash of delight:
Ever magnetic,
Devotion highlights
Finesse dramatic!
Once in a grand while:
In breezy fashion,
A cake styles fond smiles
In sheer attraction!
Add more than enough
Secret ingredient,
Yes a special stuff
To bring heart radiance.
Money cannot buy
What the heart now knows,
Here's to eating highs
To make your soul glow!

Today I'll build myself a wreath
I'll buy the floral tape
I'll hunt for pines and mistletoe
I'll bend them into shape
Today I'll play a Christmas song
I'll find the merry tune
I'll sing for joy and family love
I'll play on for the moon
Today I'll bake a Yule log cake
I'll work tirelessly
I'll work out chocolate ganache years
I'll make you candied sleep
Today I'll hold my family close
We'll gather 'round the fire
I'll tape my eyes and try to find
Ways out of mad desire
Today I'll search for hours on end
I'll make it all okay
But I still know, when it comes
I'll forget Christmas day

Taste fond delight:

Sweet morsel bits:
Mild bitter wit
In cake that fits
Feisty feast flies:

With ganache sighs

Taste regalia!
Here in quick haste:
No time to waste
Embrace good taste
