Just Desserts
Death by chocolate
all reason leaves the being
breath taken away
Death by chocolate
quickening pulse overtakes
heart stops with desire
Stay with vanilla
languishing longings subside
live a longer life
Whoops!! Sorry, wrong prompt!!
Here’s the correct prompt . . .
Just Deserts
Death in the desert
All moisture leaves the body
breath taken away
Death in the desert slow pulse life slipping awayheart stops with the heat
Stay in the suburbs
cozy, comfortable, cool
Die by chocolate

Hi there woof! woof! I kept smiling thru your desserts and desert! LOL..
I have not submitted anything this week, just going round, admiring – ♥
For some reason, at first glance, I often confuse the two words … I like the clever way you included both (particularly for people like me!!
)
I am late in submitting and reading …

Becca,
I always confuse desert and dessert, thus the post. I wrote the Death by Chocolate think that was the prompt, then I rechecked and realized desert was not dessert and didn’t want to ditch my chocolate haiku so I linked it to desert and it just came together it a weird weird way. Similiar to life.
hahahaha…….loved the way you swiped the words. I would rather die by chocolate!
Delightful switch up! you are so clever…
Sabio, Joanne,
ANYONE who calls me “clever” is automatically a new friend for life.
Clever, cute and delicious.
Vanilla no thanks. By chocolate – I’ll die a thousand deaths.
Ha ha ha … loved both the prompts
Haha! Very different take on the prompt! Dying by chocolate would be as sweet as chocolate
Life by chocolate.
Melts in mouth chewy goodness.
Kills? Good way to go!
Liked your play here!
Death by chocolate sounds like the way to go. Great name for an icecream and good way to survive suburban life:)
Still chuckling! Amazing how you have connected the desert with a passion for chocolate!
The chocolate looks decidedly dangerous
Very clever and amusing ~ would love to venture into the desert but return to the dessert!
I can believe that death by chocolates ~ Alas death in the desert would be very tragic ~
I like the way you did that. Nice one. Now, where’s my chocolate?
Smiles, chuckles, giggles and laugh- out -louds too. Loved your play on words and your sense of humor. Haiku can get soooo serious!
