An Heirloom Recipe Holiday Cake

Abecedarium poem

By DaphsamPublished about a year ago 1 min read
Created in Bing

A family recipe

Baked with

Chocolate so

Decadent.

Even the

Fragrance

Gave rise to

Hungry murmurs vibrated through the house,

Imploring for

Just a taste before the

Kitchen

Lost its

Melt-in-the-mouth

Notes of

Overwhelming

Peppermint.

Quintessential

Rich,

Sweet Christmas

Treat!

Unbelieve that our

Very own Great-Great-Grandmother,

Willa, came up with this dessert, creating a

Xanadu for all who eat this

Yummy,

Zesty Chocolate Peppermint cake!

My Watercolor that inspired this poem.

    I love peppermint in all things from tea to cake to candy. Tastes good and even clears the sinuses (ha-ha). Great poem.
