As they say, "better late than never," I hope. So, late, the party is over, but at least I came along in time to say CONGRATULATIONS on your contest winner. Thanks for sharing.

    Thank you so much for your kind comments. I think it's been nine or nine and a half years since I won a $100 award.

Congratulations on your wins and good luck in the contest.

Hah! Crystie!
I can certainly relate to your chocolate predicament!
You have penned a very humorous "temptation" poem, and I bet those sugar cookies were just as delicious... well, almost! :)

Best Wishes,
diane

I've had some amazing brownies at the place I'm staying in Scotland this week for a writing retreat. I think it would be very hard to resist a whole plate of them. I really enjoyed reading this piece and I thought it was really entertaining. Good luck in the contest.

    Thank you for your super review and nice comments. I would go to a writing retreat if all we ate happened to be brownies, too, ha ha.

Hi Crystiecookie,
I loved your delightful poem, capturing the humour and indulgence of a midnight snack. The vivid imagery, relatable themes, and playful tone make it engaging and enjoyable to read. Great pic to illustrate the poem. Well done. - Terry

Brownies are a huge temptation that often can't be fought. I like them nice and warm from the oven. They rarely have a chance to completely cool. LOL Thank you for sharing this contest entry with us. Good luck with the c contest.

An absolute delight to read and I wish I had more to give you here. By the time I finished your lovely rhythmic verse, I could practically smell and taste them! And what a visual too! Well done, Crystie! And if that isn't temptation, what is? A strong contender. Well done and good luck! Debbie

your notes are appreciated.
-I can't imagine eating all of them, though.
-You do a good job with the poem.
-You tell a good story with very good imagery and rhyme.
-It flows smoothly from line to line.
-I like your description, "fudgy smudgy"
and "chocolate blues."
-A very good closing couplet.
-A very good entry; good luck!!
-The story continues to be more
enticing as the walnuts are added
and made the brownies more enticing.

    Thank you for your great review. I ate all the brownies on the smaller plate (4 or 5) but not the larger plate. That would have been too many.

    You are very welcome. That sounds more reasonable!!

I love this. If I'm honest though, I must confess, I wouldn't have told anyone. Without eyewitnesses there is no proof. Denial is so easy. In fact, were I your lawyer, I'd argue your eating was a great act of self-sacrifice, you ate so no one else would be tempted to over-indulge. You deserve a merit award. You prevented fat invading the bodies of your friends. You are a hero.
