Best Torte Poems

Plum tuckered from the Polar Express,
off the rails and despairing of goody-
goody gumdrops and sweet words
that impresses many a poetic treat.

Preparation of Victorian sweets, via PC,
dreaded, droll, glorious and interminable.
I’m laughing at you, if you try, Sugar Plum.
You’ll turn colors as a longsuffering victim.

I’ve dreamt of mountains of rocky rode ice cream, dappled with candy
Kisses of purity sprinkled on top, hot steaming fudge pouring from heaven
On high, cascading as if an ocean of water streaming downwards onto my
Fantasy world of pleasure unleashed, behold chocolate dreaming, good to
The last...

Wish to wake up surrounded by the snow-capped Alps
Sipping tea in the quiet, quaint villages of Switzerland
Watching the glittering ripples of sapphire blue lakes
Staying in picturesque lakeside hamlets
Overlooking emerald valleys and majestic mountain peaks

Wish to climb the summit of the Matterhorn
To ride in horse-drawn carriages...

I do not have a favorite sport.
Folks near me cheering laughing, snort.
At times I sit in bleachers,
And watch the gaming creatures.
I much prefer a tasty torte.

since truth is one thing they won’t mention.
That velvet cherry torte
holds mandates to report,
so she flirts to pull our perception....

Oh majestic peaks,

standing so tall,

the points never meager,

uplifting like the beautiful dowager.

The greenery covers,

like a flock of plovers,

and a blanket of fibrous wicker,

near the rocky slopes that flicker.

The sunlight is poking through,

and a wall of clouds of suspended dew,

a stand of conifers abridged,

growing across the...

Rough footsteps sifting through the crisp, torte leave's,
a grey matter of cloud's over head,
the crisp, crunch of the fresh fallen leave's,
it stills my beating heart,
that noise, 
that simple sound,
I aghast.

The array of colors,
falling at their masses,
I want to skip, to run,
and hear the vital sounds...

From the pulled-sugar tux
To the pressed-sugar gown,
The sweet candy couple
Will paint the cake town!

From their sugary heads
To their saccharine shoes,
They're the topmost of all
To spread the good news.

They've layers of goodness
Stacked under their feet,
First, a moistened red velvet
Of chocolatey sweet ...

Below that, two inches
Of soft...

WHY 13 TOPS MY WEDDING CAKE

A cherubim approaches the celebratory podium,
a fifteen tier cake in her congratulatory hands.
The pews, full of spectators - ready for a heavenly slice,
fragrant oil poured from above, stirs hearts where it lands.

Almond cookies and French Roast,
a superb treat for a king or Queen;

a torte soaked in Baccardi...cin, cin!*

Think of May as a wonderful month, never rude,
bringing beautiful days with warm showers...
to make beach goers wrap themselves in towels,
then the hottest sun will break through!


Why do we love this month that makes everyone fantasize?
Is it the new flowers, or Mother's Day itself?
We agree,...

A warm comforting home environment environment adorned with
paintings, cushions,flowers, soft couches, afternoon sunlight
Streaming through laced windows breathing out cooking aromas
of chicken soup and incense fragrance of musk and lavender.
Smiles and Grandmas  hugs with milk , cookies and fresh linen.
Dainty flower prints on cotton fabrics,...
