I love indulging in a sweet Milky Way
I love how its taste lingers all day
I love the intoxicating scent of chocolate and caramel at play
I love breaking it in two, watching the translucent amber on display
I love the chestnut shadows molding this candy bar
I love the creamy beige taste makes me feel like a superstar
I love this melt-in-your-mouth treat, evoking memories from afar
I love how satisfying each chocolatey bite always is on par
I love how this nougat leaves gooeyness on my fingertips
I love how the taste of buttery sweets covers my lips
I love it when the caressing honey caramel drips
I love how this candy bar was my treat for being a good girl on trips

A Flower Song
Apparently the Aztecs, Toltecs, Chichimecs and other Mexica were crazy about poetry. Despite the book-burning, slaughter, and epidemics that characterized the early stages of the Spanish conquest of the empires of Mexico, some hundreds of poems from the height of their tradition come down to us in Classical Nahuatl, preserved by Nahua and Spanish scholars of the 16th century. One of the most famous poets, Nezahualcoyotl, was a sage-king who opposed the cult of human sacrifice associated with Tezcatlipoca, God of the Smoking Mirror, and favored Quetzalcoatl, the Feathered Serpent. Flowers and feathers were the favorite offering of the Plumed Serpent. Moreover, flowers and feathers are a metaphor for poetry. Individual words, scattered petals, the down of tropical birds. The temples of blood sacrifice could be transformed into temples of flower and song. A sublimated offering to the Heart of Earth and the Heart of Sky encapsulated in the Classical Nahuatl kenning for poetry: in xōchitl in cuīcatl, meaning, "the flower and the song." The following poem is part of a longer work, and is in a state of flux, so take the waters as they flow:

I'll leave them for you, Daphne. I prefer Ferrero Rocher, Lindt, Toblerone, Dove & Merci.
Good job with the descriptive words on one of my favorite candy bars, but my favorite is Twix with the cookie inside.
