Amply Yours

(Written for dVerse prompt: Quadrille #183, A Sliver of a Poem posted on 4 Sep 2023)

Though It’s made with much adroitness,

With cheese rich decoration and ambrosial taste,

Enough for human temptation,

But this is not why only a sliver of the cake

will do for me,

It’s the emotional aroma that plates any dish,

So delicious or gritty.   (44 words)

dVerse prompt: Quadrille #183, A Sliver of a Poem written in 44 words

1 minute 
The dVerse prompt hosted by Kim from Writing in North Norfolk, bringing you the Quadrille, when we take any meaning or form of one word and transform it into 44 poetic words. Today, she wants us to write a poem of exactly 44 words (not counting your title), including the word SLIVER.
Cheesecake—rich, creamy
a simple pleasure of life
divine ambrosia 
on a graham cracker crust

temptation beckons
only a sliver will do
cut me off a slice
of my guiltiest delight

right now, the scale can wait
tomorrow's another day
today is all about cheesecake
