eighty five percent
dark and bitter snapped
fifteen percent
full bodied chilean
the sum of the parts
add up...

"the sum of the parts

Don't they?!

i think you've done a great job with this piece-
the bitters and the chilean
the title
and the numerics- you can write
always.
and now i must have chocolate-

Loved the title, loved the write.

The sum of the parts add up...
Yes indeed this does.
Chocolate ain't got nuthin' on this one, hon.


-
I don't think I could ingest both at the same time..
but the combination separately adds up ..
I make no sense..

A nice evening then but in the morning the head full of chemicals

I wish I enjoyed wine more than I do. It makes my allergies go haywire. Love this, though, and how nicely it all adds up.




-
Bitter sweet....
Ah yes kinda like my life at the moment.

Best of luck

This is very simple Elaine. Which fits perfectly
into the contest I think. I use to drink lots of wine years ago, still kind of do...Though not as much. And as far as chocolate goes, I can't eat it at all. Not because I am allergic or anything like that, but the sweetness give me a headache.
Liking this.

This poem was interesting. Sadly, I really don't understand it :/ It annoys me so... Good luck in the contest though.

It's okay that you did not understand - we are all learning new things
it is a silly poem about the percentage of cocoa in dark chocolate and the percentage of alcohol in red wine
85% and 15% make 100% and therefore I am happy with chocolate and red wine.
Thank you for reading
