Paint Me A Chocolate Pardon
pink foil in the prison - tattoo this line challenge
Cover the world in pink. There is proof that it calms violent criminals. Paint prisons and cells hot pink, dress guards and inmates in rose, magenta, cherry, and watermelon, and include forms of chocolate for de-stressing in all meals. High-quality chocolate will be delivered in box trucks painted fuchsia, their sides covered in displays of chocolate candy.
Daily, the prisoners wait dreamily for their afternoon treat: real cocoa, not Nestle or Swiss Miss, rather, rich chocolate higher than sixty percent, melted and mixed with a choice of milk, steamed and frothed, silky on their tongues, soothing their psyches. Kindness and compassion.
Dream in chocolate. Glide me to my heaven.
Chocolate in pink foils dispensed with morning eggs and toast and slipped next to sandwiches at lunch. Coffee is lightly laced with chocolate, easy on the digestive system.
Paint me a chocolate pardon. Melt my crimes away.

Love the colour and concept of this, great story
colors are so important for the mind - we know little about how these things work what a lovely poem and as a chocolate fan - yes, i need a cup of that dark, silky, nurturing goodness
Pink is wonderful. Watermelon is wonderful. Calm is wonderful. Great imagery
The last line! Melt my crimes away. So good!
Oh, yes, can someone do this for me? Yummy!! <3
What an original piece of writing "YUM-YUM!" You DID it! Wowsers Andrea! And that line: "Paint me a chocolate pardon. Melt my crimes away." Oooooh yeah!
This was a delightful read! I’m now fully on board with chocolate-based rehabilitation. May all court sentences come with cocoa percentages.
Love it! I had to give it up a year ago as I had to give up sugar. Diabetic, and drinking decaf mocha. First one small one a day, then a tall, then 2 tall a day, and when I moved to 3 tall a day - time to quit! That in addition to small amount of chocolate every day. Love it. Too much. No more for now.😉❤️
As I sit here eating chocolate candy, enjoying your poem, Andrea <3
Well done! Paint me a chocolate pardon is a hell of a line.
