Love the humor ... who'd a thunk love was fattening? (Excluding ... LOL) Nicely done. I'd write a longer review but it's lunch time and the power of suggestion wins out LOL.

A really good write and a contender, for sure.

Best of luck in the contest...

A very clever spoof on Robert Browning. The style is well done and the clever rhymes are great. I like the humorous gourmet references. Well done!

I think Elizabeth Barrett Browning is smiling. The sonnet is a great venue for a love poem, and I do enjoy love poems; however, given an option to use humor, I almost always head in that direction. You employed humor very well in this one. The rhyme and the theme of the poem flow smoothly throughout. I confess I was just about to wonder whether the 'food' references were starting to seem excessive, and then I was hit by that last line. Hilarious! I see a lot of poems that deserve six stars in my opinion, but often make the mistake of waiting because I'm afraid I'll see another one I like more & won't have any stars left. Not taking a chance with this one, though. It makes me smile & is definitely a six-star effort in my opinion.

Ha ha... I compare
my love to a delicious dish!!
This would appeal to my husband
who most certainly loves me but
likes his food - what an appetite
(for food I mean) and yet he never
puts on a pound.

Good luck with the contest, my friend.

Excellent use of rhyme
I love this parody of one of my favorite ever sonnets
your vivid descriptions of food have me drooling - clearly this person in love is a bit distracted by his hunger LOL
This is very witty and laugh inducing :-) Brooke
