Christmas 2023

by Chris Sorrenti


A custom in this house
this time of year

Two Pots of Gold
caramel and creams
truffles even
surrounded in
dark milk chocolate on
conveniently mapped trays

And as many things
this time
same price
same packaging
just as rich
portions notably smaller

Maybe a good thing
for this Type II chocoholic
and though Mr. Hershey’s
no stranger in this house
his boxes best sampled
but once a year

Merry Christmas, Chris. I don't come here very often anymore, but I'm always glad to see you still here sharing a new work with us almost daily! Love how you mapped this out like those carefully crafted boxes of chocolates. I, too, have to limit their intake at this point. Love, also, your Two Pots of Gold. May the New Year find you blessed.

A very nice read Chris. Hope you're having a kickass season.
