Ode to Chocolate

 Today, Veronica read Neighborhood Odes by Gary Soto. Then she wrote an Ode celebrating chocolate. The ode must be dedicated to an object, include short lines in the style of Soto, include a simile and metaphor with an option to include repetition and alliteration.

Ode To Chocolate

By: Veronica James Guerinot

The soft crunch

The explosion of flavors

In your mouth

Oozing out the sides

I lick my lips

My taste buds start doing a little jig

Sweetness erupts everywhere

My fingertips sprinkled

With delicious chocolate

I breathe in the

Healthy, sweet air

I jab my fork in

The mini cake

It’s covered in rich

Dark chocolate

I slice the

Heavenly circle

And hot lava

Spills out

Yummy yummy

I spoon it in my mouth

And with every bite

It is like eating

A

Moist double chocolate

Layer cake with dark chocolate

Frosting and chocolate chips

On the side

Delicious!
