Day one of the GloPoWriMo, write thirty poems in one month challenge and am feeling up for it! (Oo er!)Today, the challenge is to write a poem about a secret shame or secret pleasure and cheese immediately sprang to mind! Now that my life affair with cheese is officially out there, I think it’s time I celebrated with a slab of Gorgonzola!

Confessions of a Cheese Addict
It’s time my secret was unearthed
This love affair won’t ease
Quite frankly since I joined this earth
I’ve had a crush on cheese!
I’m on my knees each time I spy
A raunchy piece of cheddar
Gruyère or Emmenthal and my
heart’s light, and soft as feathers
The draw of Sbrinz has me convinced
And Tête de Moine’s compelling
It’s not by chance or circumstance
that on Swiss soil I’m dwelling!
Too much Raclette, I just can’t get
My heart melts with each portion
Fondue is always a safe bet
My lust defies proportion!
And who needs sweets or chocolate treats
when Brie and grapes are calling?
Poor substitutes cannot compete
It’s clear for whom I’m falling!
I guess it shows how far this goes
We are made for each other
Dear Cheese, you had me at hello!
I’ll always be your lover!
Yummy!
Happy Easter 😀

From one co-active cheese loving poet to another: hello! I’m Dutch, but Gouda and Edam do not make for good poems I believe 🙂

Angela! Too many serendipitous similarities for us not to be in contact! Are you on Facebook? You can find me under SJ Allen and my page is called New Flow Coaching. Great to connect with humour over all things cheesey! 🙂

Fortunately, there is no such thing as too much cheese.
Unfortunately, there is such a thing as too much wine. I can’t drink very much of that these days, so the cheese stands alone much of the time.

Thank you! I must say I am rather partial to a glass of vino or three and the two pair up nicely! Can’t drink as much as in my student days though!

Love it! Reminds me of my husband, for whom cheese is always the answer. Personally, I’m trying to avoid it…but, it’s pretty hard.
