Candy Poem by Cassandra Jasmine

Candy

Rating: 4.3


Chewy caramels,
Delicious chocolates,
Spicy Mints,
And peppery canes.

Milky-white chocolate balls,
Chocolate-covered coffee beans,
Raisins, blueberries, and strawberries;
All covered in sweet, suave, chocolate.

Oh, how I adore,
Chocolate kisses,
Velvety licorice (not quite) ,
And chocolate balls of nuts!

Candy, oh candy,
My love for you will never cease.
But my friends are sweeter than you;
Yet the price I would not have to pay is this:
Toothaches, cavities, and rotten teeth!

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
Well, this poem is to all of my friends out there. However, this is more or less dedicated to my friend Amy Kawai. She's a precious little gem; dull when left alone, but shiny once polished.

Cassie, right? i hope you are doing well in the United States of Awesomeness! my teeth (or lack of some) is a testament to this line: Toothaches, cavities, and rotten teeth! ................i guess i avoided toothaches by having dentist to correct my problems. i now brush only once a day, but i DO use toothpaste with added fluoride. i certainly enjoyed lots of candy when i was growing up, and i'm only missing or have crowned less than a quarter of my original teeth! ! ;) i am going to put this poem into my/our August 2017 showcase of poems by (mostly) PH poets. Thanks. bri :) hi to sis.

I loved this poem Cassandra! I'm glad to hear your friends are sweeter than candy to you, ' Yet the price I would not have to pay is this: Toothaches, cavities, and rotten teeth! ' How cute!

Cassie, i'm not sure if i will allow you to use suave! for candy! poetic license aside. suave swäv/ adjective adjective: suave; comparative adjective: suaver; superlative adjective: suavest 1. (esp. of a man) charming, confident, and elegant. all the waiters were suave and deferential synonyms: charming, sophisticated, debonair, urbane, polished, refined, poised, self-possessed, dignified, civilized, gentlemanly, gallant; More but if i do allow it, then it makes for a lovely alliteration...........sweet/suave. :) Yet the price I would not have to pay is this: Toothaches, cavities, and rotten teeth! ..............this is clever, and true, as long as they remain friends and don't become enemies, 'cause then they may become worse than cavities in your teeth! ! ! : ( i liked peppery canes for peppermint canes or candy canes. my favorite lines: Chocolate-covered coffee beans, Raisins, blueberries, and strawberries; ............give me the fruit; i'll pass on the coffee beans. are they good? thanks for sharing. bri :)
