A Melting Moment with a Melting Moment
Soft, sweet, and gone too soon
Soft and powdery
to the touch.
The delectable citrus scent
washes over me.
My teeth glide through the
delicate, buttery texture.
A sweet, vanilla explosion
caresses my taste buds.
Cool, velvety cream
slides across my tongue.
The gentle, crumbly, crunch
drifts through my ears.
Left yearning for more.
Oh, so many more.
Melting moments are a popular biscuit in Australia and New Zealand. They're made from two shortbread biscuits sandwiched with a lemon-vanilla icing. They get their name from their delicious, melt-in-your-mouth texture.

It starts with love.. The Power to the God Of War and Wealth Walk into a Chinese restaurant (even in Oklahoma, USA), a Chinese police station, a kung fu martial arts studio or even a Chinese temple and you often see a red faced warrior holding a heavy quan-do (spear like weapon).

I want some Melting moments now! Immediately. Lots of them and a pot of tea. :D How deliciously sounding poem. And that image! I didn't realise it was AI generated until I read it. It looks so delicious.
I want one now. Now I got to go to buy some. Wonder what flavor I get?
Delicioso!! Will search for them at the supernart tomorrow.
I didn't think it's possible to make me hungry after just stuffing myself at lunch, but you did it. 😂😂Such a good name for a dessert, too.
Such an evocative description I was almost tempted... but not quite 😊
They look and sound yummy! Thank you for the introduction! ☺️🫶🏾
Yummy poem! And now, I'm going to go raid the cupboard.
Beautifully captured… I can almost taste them! They’re quite a challenge to consume without creating a mess.😅
Delicious in the picture, I can only imagine when right in front of you!!😉❤️
Heheh Sandy the Title wins it all the way...This makes me hungry really hungry. Heheh Great word play. Heheh .@Sandy Gillman
Omgggg, I sooo badly wanna eat this! 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
You know what I love more than that AI generated photo? The 'gentle, crumbly crunch line.' It heightens my senses. I wish I could eat it. 'That sweet vanilla explosion' have me in a choke hold. I think you know what you were doing with this free verse. I love shortbread biscuits, but I know they would be made better with that lemon vanilla icing in the middle. Nice to know it's popular in Australia and new Zealand. What's not nice, is that my teeth cannot currently 'glide through the delicate buttery texture'. This was fantastic Sandy, it has all the good workings of a masterpiece in caressing our taste buds through words and acting like water to wash it all down 🤗❤️
Now, we are eating assorted cookies from Middle eastern shop. Some of them fit this description. Buttery, crumbly..
I could actually smell and taste your cookies! Looks and sounds so yummy.
Your picture and words are tempting me
The name's the promise: pure, vanishing bliss between biscuits.
