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-

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
