Shiny, sharp-edged, expensive chocolate:
72 % cacao, raspberry-filled.
Manufacturer's regal stamp
Precisely impressed into smooth dark square;
(I can feel the impression on my tongue).
In my hand: not a trace.
In my mouth: a 6-minute silky melt.
All better.

Thanks everybody! Dark chocolate is good for you, you know :D
This sent me running to the pantry looking for chocolate, although your poem has far less calories. Wonderful description, invoked all the senses.
Thanks, Cecilia, glad you liked the poem.
I love "a six-minute silky melt." That says it all!
Where's the guilt? Envy yes but guilt no...
Amen to that -- no guilt! :D Thanks for commenting, Mary and bouguloo.
Oh my goodness!
"In my mouth: a 6-minute silky melt"

beautiful.
Loved the melting way you described this sinful pleasure!
I guess chocolate has a way of bringing people together :) Thanks for the wonderful comments, friends...have a blessed weekend!
Judith, I bet there's no trace left on your hands because you lick them all. And mine would probably last less than 6 minutes in my mouth...lol. It wouldn't take me long to finish a bar of chocolate. It's been fun reading yours and others about chocolate. Thanks for reading mine too. Have a wonderful weekend.
Oh yes, all better! I do love chocolate! Enjoyed your blog and profile as well. Thank you for visiting my blog.
