7 Sweet Promises

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].
