Chocolate And Swiss Cheese
Please send us a HEART if you LIKE our blog!
Welcome to Wonderful Wednesday!
Let’s give a warm greeting to our Guest host
“Luethold Kristin”
Today we ask that you and your poetry
take a journey with us
Into the delectable world of
Delicious, tasty, and delightful
Chocolate and Swiss Cheese
Cheese and chocolate, the favorites of my country,
in so many flavors, shapes and styles….
Chocolate
Just saying the word
feels Like a poem on my lips.
(Just let my indulgence of it Not show up on my hips.)
Why does it seem so decadent,
So like a forbidden love?
(Darn, this pair of jeans used to fit me like a glove.)
You tantalize my taste buds,
So dark, creamy and rich
(O.K. I overdid it-Ten pounds, what a bitch!)
Fondue has been known since the 4th century.
The name comes from the french word “fondre” which means melting.
People, not wanting to waste food, would melt their old cheeses with some wine.
Then they would stir in some old dry bread into the Cheese mixture.
This way making a meal from leftovers in the end was the beginning of Fondue!
In the late 1950’s Fondue began it’s journey around the world
Gaining in culinary popularity!

There’s nothing quite like a piece of cheese
to nibble upon for pleasure and ease.
No matter the time or state of mind
greater joy than cheese you’ll find.
Served on a cracker or a soft piece of bread
a morceau de formage will please your head.
Roquefort, Camembert, Brie or Blue
served with fruit or in fondue
God gave us cheese- a bit of heaven on earth
to lift our burdens, providing sweet mirth.
And after all our daily work is done
we enjoy simple cheese just for fun.
But remember the ancient custom of the house
leave behind a kernel for the nocturnal mouse.
~ Jim Sitterly ~
So gather around, Poetic Pals,
And tell us of those
Tasty treats and morsels
Of Chocolate and Cheese
That you enjoy!
Let your poetic muse describe
All those flavors that please
Your palate and your heart!
Are you ready to start?
And remember if you LIKE our blog
Send us a HEART!
We thank you for sharing your
Time and Poetry with us!
We look forward to sharing with you again!
Close my eyes to imagine
what a gift from the Food Gods would be
my addiction to Chocolate to satisfy
and set my heart free
add a touch of Swiss Cheese
for a nutty taste of fun
now there’s a savory treat of dreams
rolled into one…..

By the fire, fills my desire
a hunger for fondue
a slice of bree there like a tease,
as sweet melted chocolate and swiss
tethered my senses amid the crisp cool air.
Cheering on bread, sausage, veggies and fruit
I knew exactly what I to do;
Get the fire roaring with heat
let it embrace me with its warmth
The champagne I sip delighted the very instrument of me
an awaiting hunger satisfied
as relaxation ensued
this bitter sweet winter
with treats to eat in solitude and fondue :love:
All such gorgeous poetry and delectable delights posted. Craving indeed . . . .

BEYOND MEASURE
Romantic melodies
of tender rhapsodic bliss
across the candlelit moments
on a moonlit night such as this,
each melodic tone
caressing my soul,
exquisitely molded
and finding pathways
to my heart;
one by one shaped
and made our own,
their velvety smooth
darkness sublime,
their harmonies drifting,
so soothing and rich,
in velvety smooth darkness,
a keyboard of dreams,
one exquisite note
at a time,
soothing beyond measure
to this restless and dreaming
heart that is mine.
And for a time,
measured as it is,
they perform their magic
as we find sweet release
in the subtle notes
of these enchanting
and delectable delights.
