Yep - break out the CCC's, a cup of fru-fru coffee, and OnDemand Madame Secretary and I'm good for 24 hours. Also obsess over plain old Murray's Ginger Snaps - happen to have a bag open right now.

Oh, this is good--good poetry and good to write about something so divine as chocolate covered cherries. Your fine 5-7-5 speaks volumes and image tantalizes the taste buds. Marilyn

Whoever thought up this contest is a genius, I love chocolate lol. Reading about it is better than eating it for me at the moment - less calories lol. Good luck in the contest and thank you for sharing.

They look good and I'm sure they taste good. They are also fattening. Give me a lovely roast and veggies any day!
Yummy and healthy.

Curly Girly - well I like meat and potatoes too ... as long as there's chocolate cake for desert!

When I was eight years old, (sixty years ago) the chocolate covered cherries were my favorite. My Mother would get these for a treat. Your poem brought back fond memories.

Thank you so much for review and for sharing your remembrances. I've always thought taste was just as powerful as smell to bring back memories.
God bless and my best,

Mmmm...you're making me hungry. And fat. I think I've gained ten pounds just looking at them. You've described those chocolate cherries perfectly. Good luck in the contest.

Cindy - thanks for the review and I've got the same problem. Chocolate has always been my weakness. I remember thinking it wasn't candy if it wasn't chocolate when I was a child.
Wait ... I still feel that way!
God bless and my best,

This is great! I have read many good 5-7-5, but this is the most delicious. You have to be a master at these to conjure the idea in the mind with such few words. You are a MASTER. TY
