Try even when you fall

Try Even When You Fall

The daily prompt: sweet, candy, sugar--the things that sweeten your life/make you happy.

The form: 'tri-fall' 18 stanzas. A-B-C rhyme scheme. 6/3/8 very hard to corral the words.

Vocabulary: Carp(not the fish) to complain. Cleave-(old Eng./bible) to cling to faithfully.

Reave-to take as spoils. Scarp-escarpment-slope-wall/ledge of a rampart ditch.

Indulgence is my peeve.

Not my fault!

When the sting of desire cuts sharp

There's sweets I can not leave.

An assault

On my will- left to moan and carp.

To my diet I'll cleave,

Binging halt;

But in dreams, as through a time warp

Like a pirate, I reave.

In the vault,

Enough pastry to fill a tarp.

Drink like flow from an eave.
Sweet with salt
Caramel as angels play harp.
Toast with fried bacon weave.
Milk with malt
Self control clings to a thin scarp
