Why can’t life be like
a box of chocolates?
it’s not, you know
it doesn’t melt on your tongue
luscious, velvety smooth
dark enough to hide the sins of ages
sweet enough to absolve them
Life really should be
like molten, chocolate desserts
rich enough to inspire
envy you can savor
tasteful cocoa journey
just not too sweet
creamy throughout
If life could be melted
poured into
those fluted, little molds
mixed with fruits and nuts
a nectarous existence
preferably with less calories and guilt
more confectionery in nature
Until then
we hedonists
seek the aroma
of chocolate
that fantasy candy
a delusional surprise…
“Life is like a box of chocolates; you never know what you’re gonna get” (Forrest Gump) I like to think of life as a Rubik’s cube myself.
Nice little poem… a delusional surprise revealed by the bathroom scale…
Yep, that’s the movie 🙂 Rubik’s cube, I like that one too. Thank you…
We’ll just have to eat enough chocolate to make up for it.
That’s the one 🙂
I want chocolate now lol
ha ha…I do too 🙂
I know, right?!
Yep….ha ha
Yes lol
Drown yourself in enough chocolate and life becomes just as flavourful!
Sounds good to me 🙂
If life is like a chocolate, it will be tasted by all. Nah! it’s better as it is.:)
Yes, individual to all, one year at a time 🙂
I loved the Forrest Gump film of course but I always think, in the chocolate box of life, there is always a treat you should avoid !
That’s true, there is always one that doesn’t taste as good as it looked 🙂
And I wonder what life would be if it WERE a box of chocolates. How we define a “box of chocolates” suddenly becomes so important!
It would be interesting, especially if you could pick and choose just like picking the chocolates.
Oh, that’s right … I never saw it from that angle. I’ll avoid the strange flavoured ones. Now, I’m trying to figure what in life I might try to avoid.
maybe our lives were a box of chocolate. That bitter. Everything would be sweeter.
compliments for poetry
Ah yes, the sweet with the bitter… thanks!
hello and greetings
This is good timing. I’ve been eating Easter chocolate and feeling guilty. No more guilt! 😄
That’s right! Just throw that guilt away, you have my permission 🙂
Reblogged this on By the Mighty Mumford and commented:
BECAUSE SOME HAVE DEVELOPED PEANUT ALLERGIES? 😀 GOOD POEM!
Thank you so very much! I super appreciate it 🙂
Life is good, when it’s good. But we all wish it was perfect, but it always seems to bring us down when things are going good. Cie la Vie!
It’s unpredictable for sure!
*knods furiously in agreement* unhuh!
