A box of Chocolates for Valentine’s Day:

Subject suggested by The Black Candelabra @ bumblepuppies  Please see below my post for details:

Dipping into a box of chocolates was once the ultimate time of indulgence.                                  In those days I hadn’t even heard of cholesterol. Today I am going to share my next best thing for Valentines Day, perhaps you’d like a box too?

This one is for my beloved:

Colour:

Lemon yellow incites effervescence, happiness and hope.

Cadmium yellow’s mellow warmth contains contentment.

Cadmium orange arouses rapturous sexual passion.

Cadmium red inspires energetic determination.

Alizarin immerses into parody.

Violet enchants childhood memories.

Purple emanates peace and passivity.

Ultramarine blue intoxicates with strength.

Cobalt blue links to dreams and the unknown.

Cerulean evokes serenity and joy.

Viridian green urges creativity and innovation.

Lime green symbolizes birth and new growth.

Would you like to taste one from my box? Which one would you choose? A reward of a full box is ready for each of you who manage to read to the end.

“Valentine’s Day arrives this week and many of your waistlines will be encountering a delectable box of chocolates. For this week’s challenge, you will be reimagining the box of chocolates as a writing form.

A collection of unique and separate chocolates forms a greater whole. One rarely finds a single small piece of chocolate that ascends to the heights that the variety provides.

With that in mind, you will be writing a dozen mini-pieces in a single post. Each mini-piece should be 25-35 words and be self-contained. In other words, they should not form a dialogue, advance a plot, or otherwise interact with one another. However, they should be unique. You might vary the style in each one, offer viewpoints from 12 different perspectives, or devise 12 different formatting techniques. Whatever strategy you choose, the twelve pieces should look like a coherent whole when they’re juxtaposed in your post.”
