I walk in and smell the sweet aroma
like freshly baked cookies on a snowy white Christmas morning
When I catch it in sight, it’s hard to let go
My mouth waters, telling me to take it slow
I can’t resist, my desire for this treat is like a bears need for honey
I bite into it, I sense the delightful chocolate
Followed by a satisfying crunch
Your long bricks
Covered with a sweater
Of chocolate
Could possibly taste like an angel swaying in the air
If you were a gladiator
You could wipe out a large size of your pure competition like a war
just by the way you look or taste
The crispy wafers taste astonishing in my mouth
I keep popping them into my jaw, I tell myself to stop
Or at least slow down
“Go go go” I keep telling my brain like when your just before the finish line in a track meet
This sweetness passes on spirit I cannot control
Like the energy you have after drinking a cup of soda
The bitterly taste of this chocolate is as bitter as coffee
The sugar is giving me happiness, making me smile
- The type of poem I published was an Ode.
- I chose this type of poem, because it was easier to insert figurative language, and the tone and mood mostly fits the subject
- The tone of my poem is open-minded
- The theme for my ode poem is to make careful decsions
- “I walk in and smell the sweet aroma like freshly baked cookies on christmas morning” This is a simile. This compares the smell of the treat to the smell of christmas cookies.
- “My desire for this treat is like a bears need for honey” This is a simile. This compares the need for the sweet to a bears need for honey.
- This poem was kind of hard to do because you needed a lot of thinking to make up a poem with different needs like figurative language and length.
- I am satisfied with my draft, because I liked the way it turned out and I liked the way I used the figurative language.
