Big Tent poetry prompt - January 17 prompt to publish the 21st 2011

Solace is found in Sugar

The weather gods are frowning outright

Threatening the city with chain lightening

And smatterings of chilly rain and all over

There are clouds the colour of slate

It is a day for curling up with a good book

A fire blazing in the grate and always by me

Sweets – all kinds of sweet comfort

First, my love brings me white-chocolate

Raspberry cheesecake – two pieces to

Savour and eat slowly – they are very dear

Over seven dollars each! I try to make them

Last and he knows this so he supplements

In addition to the cheesecake comes junk food:

Chocolate bars and M & M’s, Hostess cupcakes,

And, should my love feel the need to pamper

There will be Godiva chocolate bars too

More bits of decadence that don’t bear

Thinking about too much when it comes

To price, but are rich beyond all measure.

Hmm – I find myself suddenly at the window

Eyeing the now bright blue sky resentfully...
