when the world crashes in
there is but one way to make things right
decadent sweets do beckon me
with promises of a heavenly delight
in times of great despair
my heavy heart is set free
with promises of a heavenly delight
decadent sweets do beckon me
when loneliness set in
in the wee hours of the night
decadent sweets do beckon me
with promises of a heavenly delight
i find solace in simple pleasures
that dance on my taste buds full of glee
with promises of a heavenly delight
decadent sweets do beckon me
thought i'd toy with a new form of poetry...go figure i'd pick something which includes repetition. looking at some of my usual (free verse) writes, i have definitely found that i favor repetition, though it's not quite so easy to do when following a specific form. anyway, the form above is known as 'mirrored refrain'. and this particular piece was inspired by Jingle Poetry's Poetry Potluck [food, drink, and indulgence].
Glad that you find sweet promises to save your day,
ReplyDeletelovely word play.
A++

ReplyDeleteoh, man ~ mirrored refrains, triolets, couplets. i have enough trouble writing haiku and i have to count the syllables on my fingers. {seriously} this was scrumptious!
ReplyDeleteLovely song here! Be easy on those- they have nasty set of calories in them.. ;)
