Day #13 - MOLTEN (for July 18, 2010)

Day #13 of the Poem-A-Day Challenge gives us the word: molten. Now, I know “molten” is most often associated with volcanoes, but anyone who knows me is aware of my need to forage for food. No surprise, then, at my poetic attempt for this prompt!

ODE TO THE MOLTEN CAKE

It sits there in its pristine form,
a chocolate lover’s dream.
But once the fork has broken through,
a lovely, chocolate stream
of rich and gooey fudge-like sauce
flows freely from inside.
Enjoy this molten lava cake,
where calories abide.

The molten silver swirls
Through a pot old and used
For an artisan to shape
For a band for us to use

For flashy gold will not do
Nor platinum or brass
Our love cannot be expressed
With such metals as that

So molten silver shapes the hearts
That intertwine with love
To show the world for ever still
The strength and power of our love.
