Chocolate Index

The NaPoWriMo prompt for today was to write an index poem, whether found in an actual index or one I invent on my own. I wasn't inspired by the few indexes I have at home, so I decided to make up my own index poem. 


Chocolate Index
By Candace Shultz

Awesome flavor
Beware of heat
    melts in hands
Candy bar favorites
    Almond Joy
    Kit Kat
    Reese's
    Snickers
Delicious
Eat it when
    depressed
    happy
    hungry
    in the pantry
    kids aren't aware
    watching TV
Fudge
Gives joy 
Hot cocoa
I want to eat chocolate now
Just one piece
Kisses
    Bite sized
    Can't just eat one
Let me have some now!
Melts in your mouth
Never leave home without it
Out of chocolate
    Ask a friend
    Go to store
    Send husband to get more
    Trick-or-treating
Pairs well with
    graham crackers
    marshmallows
    mint
    peanut butter
    strawberries
    try it on everything
Questions
    Do I savor it for myself?
    Do I share?
Rich taste
Scrumptious
Tempting
Unwrapping
    Fast if eating it all at once
    Slow if saving some for later
Voracious appetite
Will love it forever
Xocolatl
    Aztec hot chocolate
    slightly bitter
    spicy
Yummy
Zealous for chocolate


Now that I've finished my poem, please excuse me while I go into my pantry and eat some chocolate.

  1. Congratulations Candace. What a delicious start to my day. I've just had my morning cuppa and your poem is tempting me to start my day with chocolate! Ah!
    Love these lines: 'Fast if eating it all at once
    Slow if saving some for later'
