30 Day Poetry Challenge - Day Sixteen

Day Sixteen - Do you find it difficult to express one sense (sight, hearing, taste, smell, touch) more than others in your writing? Paying special attention to that often ignored sense, write a poem with exaggerated sensory detail.




Nestle Crunch


Smooth, glassy slab of chocolate
Slickly slides across my parted lips.
It melts into a silky sweet ocean
And splashes across my tongue
While the course, crispy underside
Grates my covetous taste buds
Like a tantalizing road rash.
Swishing, chewing…
I mull the confectionery bliss over
And let the flavor-Pompeii
Pop like fireworks over each receptor,
Until every last scrap dissolves
Down my hungry throat…
Then I take another bite.
