1. I’ve not seen that painting before, or any other painting with cookies in it, and I like it! I also like the way you played with the prompt word and alliteration, Björn. By the way, we too have that saying.

   • It makes sense, and I had so much fun playing with alliteration…

2. This is exquisitely drawn, Bjorn! I love the idea of “contagions of crush.” I also love coaxing with cookies and candy ❤️❤️

   • Cookies and candy always work

     • Yes! 🙂

3. Bjorn, consider me delighted with your poem. Cooking for an appreciative person makes it twice as satisfying. To be cooked for like this would be love doubled (as I doubled in size.)

   • Ha… yes it always works

4. i enjoyed this so much i did not notice the alliteration until

   Kim mentioned it.

   • Ha.. cookies and candy does that

5. cool

   • 🙂

6. So delightful. It made me smile, and there is the same saying in English!

   • We all know how we might be coaxed.

     • Yes, indeed! 😊

7. I think that saying is ‘a truth universally acknowledged’! Love your poem and its clever alliterations.

   • It’s fun to be playful sometimes

8. Ha ha… the way to a man’s heart….

   • Coaxed with cookies

     • Works for me!

9. You nailed this prompt, Björn! A way to a man’s stomach is through the heart!

   • Ha, love that way to turn it.

10. Ha! The way to heart is through stomach as they say.

    • Yup… cookies is what does it.

11. The charm of cookies sounds exciting and warm – Jae

    • Which is needed in November

12. Ha ha the way to a man’s heart…cleverly written.

    • I had fun doing it… sifting for the right words

13. Ah yes, the way to a man’s heart!

    • Capture it… so easy

14. Lol!

    • 🙂

      • 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

15. Ah!! Wonderful Bjorn. Being cajoled by cookies first not necessarily kisses? Totally understood! Hell, I’ll even consider turning to the dark side too if they still offer ’em.

16. Anything for cookies I think

17. A most clever quadrille, Bjorn! Of course the captive thing works both ways ~ love me a man who can cook!

    • I could… and it is from a man simply because it was written by me…

18. You have charmingly captured your congregation of followers. ❤️❤️ The painting is so beautiful ❤️

    • I was so surprised finding the painting… the painter is not very well known I think

19. My teeth will tell you that I am a candy man (and English). Lovely little write Björn 👏

    • Dating a dentist may be better then 🙂

      • I always went to the dentist with the prettiest assistants. That may have contributed to the problem though.

20. Björn, this feels fun and totally relatable — the “coax me with cookies” line hits exactly right 😄

    • Cookies is the perfect lure

21. I, as others, thought of that old saying about the way to a man’s heart. A sweet poem!

    • It is one of many ways… but it does work. Maybe today it may work both ways though

22. That man has already named his price, a vulnerable confession.

    • It may be worth it though
