MOTHERS DAY CARD
Poetry Soup Premiere Contest winner
MOTHER'S DAY poetry contest sponsored by Benjamin Bartley, April 2025
Morning starts early, before it gets light
Opening cupboards, to see what’s in store
Teachable moments, with wrong versus right
Hope grabs the car keys, then heads through the door
Early bird children, are making their way
Ready to take on, another school week
So many hurdles, to

A Pre-Valentine’s Frenzy Of Chocolates, Hearts And Flowers
Chocolates, hearts and flowers are ubiquitous in the markets or stores
It is like a frenzy storm, like heavy raindrops rushing through the gutters
I am told at the big mall, it’s like Christmas Eve, where procrastinators
Are buying boxes of chocolate, flowers, candies of all kinds and colors
Candles, jewelries, intimate pajamas, and sexy accessories for loved ones
Wow!

Chocolates
What makes us feel like heaven on this earth?
The answer is chocolates; nothing else can match its worth.
Be it a child or an adult or else a middle-aged person.
All will stand up for chocolates in case we keep an auction.
We all have a favourite list but chocolates are always common in it.
They are equivalent to

Holiday Chocolates
Eating chocolate bells until my bulging stomach swells.
Indulging in the sweets which I was given as holiday gifts.
Enjoying delicious small chocolate coins from a mason jar.

Chocolates Don't Always Win a Heart
On Valentine's Day, Clay brought her candy
Hoping chocolates would make her randy
She threw him out the door
Yelled, "Men are such a bore!
I'm in love with twins, Mandy and Sandy."

Life Is Like a Box of Chocolates
Life's a box of chocolates, oh so sweet,
Each piece a flavor, a moment to greet.
Some taste of joy, a burst of pure delight,
While others bring sorrow, a bitter fight.
We savor the highs, with smiles on our face,
But lows leave us searching for solace and grace.
In every bite, a lesson to learn,
To cherish the good and

Easter Bunny
A small piece of paper with a written clue
Mom used to say: "The Easter Bunny left it there for you"
Sometimes I wondered if it was really true?
Out in the garden, how many eggs will I find?
Searching high and low, leaving none behind
On the grass, between the flower bed
Chocolate coated eggs lay scattered, yellow, pink and

A Gift of Chocolates
Every Christmas I make chocolates for a neighbour friend
It brightens her day to eat chocolates I made
So when the Christmas season is near
I make her a gift of chocolates
Then the day after Christmas
My neighbour friend
Comes to me
Bringing me
Chocolates

Running From the Chocolates
Who knows she is staying in this Swiss chalet?
She is consternated these chocolates came today.
Why would they be addressed to her real name?
She is registered under the moniker of a pretend dame.
The woman is freaked out; this is not her scene.
She begins to pack for she is not naïve or green.
Who knows she is here?

Chocolates and Flowers
Chocolates, flowers; always did those
Heartfelt poem, I'd always compose
My heart counted for the burning rose
'Keep Playing' or 'Give Up and Quit'
It's the former my heart always chose
I wasn't ready to bring that chapter to a close
You seemed to fit the picture of my future perfectly,
Everything about you was a

Standing In Line For Chocolates
there is a store in a strip mall
Many people are waiting in line
Only four people allowed inside
This store specializes in chocolates
There are many flavours to choose
You can not pick the chocolates
Instead ou point to what you want
Then the lady puts it into the bag
All you do is point to your option
A decision of twenty dollars

Gas Station Chocolates
Here's a box of gas station chocolates
for all the raunch I've put you through...
and a fist full of grocery store roses
to wash away a year of black and blue.
Enduring is the name of this maze game
An ounce of sweetness then flush it down the drain.
Never quite meeting love in the middle-always on the

Chocolates
Chocolates for your mom,
Chocolates for your “goil”,
Some wrapped in paper,
Some in golden foil.
No matter how you like it,
Dark or milky white,
You can eat them
Morning, noon and night.
Chocolate covered marshmallows,
Chocolate covered cherries,
Chocolate covered nuts
And big red strawberries.
No matter how you like it
I’ll give it to you.
Just tell me, my darling.
I deliver too.
