Sugar

Blueledge

Sugar is highly addictive. 

I eat it when feeling depressed. 

Maybe it's just a coincidence 

that desserts spelt backwards is stressed.

      Jazz for me.

      • Goldfinch60

        Jazz and classical for me, I go to a jazz club every month and I used to play in a swing band, great fun.

          I wish there was a jazz club near me but there's not. Not even in Exeter.
          Did you ever watch the Beiderbecke trilogy?

              Yes I watched that, it was very good.

              'You'll get your just desserts', they said to me, as in 'What goes around, comes around'.
              Yep, I got those desserts - strawberries and ice cream and jelly! lol.

                Sounds like you're well prepared for Wimbledon fortnight.

                  I've gone off sugary things somewhat. Some are surprised when I can't face a chunk of a chocolate bar.

                  That last line! Really. We have gone on a no sugar diet over a month now. Of course there are cheat days but none of the sugar spiking. Thanks for sharing.

                • Blueledge

                  I'm off sugar too. Bad for the gut.

                • JudyStella

                  It started simple and ended with a mind blowing fact! Love this! You capture such a wide area with few lines! Splendid!

                    Thank you Judy. You're very kind.

                    OMG!!! what a clever write.. I absolutely loved your poem. Thank you for sharing.

                    • Blueledge

                      Thank you Raven. Very kind, thank you.

                        your so welcome, I really enjoyed your poem.

                        Yet another smile of recognition, thank you! Except that I don't eat sugar in its pure form but disguise it as honey, chocolate, even dried fruit. All rather good for stress I think.

                        • Blueledge

                          I'm trying to cut it out Morwenna. It really is bad for us.
                          Easier said than done. It's in almost every food we buy in some form.
