3) Finally write one sentence describing your subject on each line, starting with the letter on that line
Beautiful, juicy brownies gazing on the counter
Ready to be eaten by me
Once in a while made by mom
Water comes dripping out of my mouth when I smell it
Nine brownies run through my mind
It melts marvelously in my mouth
Especially chocolate fudge makes it better
Safe and sound in my rumbling stomach
