Sweet & bitter chocolate,
Never enough chips,
Chewy cherry chunkiness,
Has heaven touched my lips?
Crunchy chopped up walnuts,
Textured & yet so fine,
Flaky flavors flirting,
This coconut is divine.
One more trail mix cookie,
Try to savor each bite,
Are there any extras?
I might just put up a fight.
