For the Dunedin Chocolate Carnival 2014, there was a sonnet competition, write a sonnet to chocolate. I entered the competition with my sonnet; so here it is!
My Ode to Chocolate
My vegetables will always make me sad,
chocolate definitely makes me happy.
Chocolate to me will never taste too bad,
eating chocolate gives me a full belly.
Chocolate tastes great, just like a sweet ice-cream,
they’re great for you and great for friends as well.
I often eat them in my deepest dreams,
I’m often with my good friend, in Cromwell.
You can put it inside your cakes and cookies,
it melts inside of your mouth like butter.
Though it’s not good for kitties and doggies,
the smell of it will make them surrender.
To sum it all up, I think chocolate’s great,
Now I will go share some with my best mate!
