The lure of chocolate...

10/6/2020

Author Colleen Chesebro's weekly poetry challenge is open-ended today. Writers and dreamers can submit any poem with a syllable structure. I've written a haiku of 5/7/5 syllables. It was sparked while watching children play outside my office window. Of course, with the approach of Halloween and my personal addiction to chocolate, it's no wonder why candy is the theme. 

​If you are interested to trying this art form, please click on Colleen's name. You'll be taken to her site, where you'll find much information about writing poetry.

In this case, it's better that it doesn't melt in his mouth!

This very much reminds me of being accused of driving certain people to chocolate with my stories. Very nice, Gwen.

Who would ever make that claim? 😁 Thank you for visiting, John, and leaving a chuckle or two.

Everything can be taken from a man but one thing: the last of the human freedoms—to choose one’s attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one’s own way. ―Viktor E. Frankl, Man’s Search for Meaning
