Lawrence S. Pertillar Candy Poems

From the outside,
Everything inside...
The candy store.
Looks delicious and sweet.
...

What could be behind one's purpose,
And/or objective...
To invite the visitation of a known headache.
What is the addiction?
...

The one thing about playing,
The game of hide and seek...
Is,
Sooner or later the game of it...
...

No bits of candy do I have to hand out.
Or other pieces of sweetened treats.
I've come to share observations not ignore them.
With a truth I welcome.
...

A few are going to be on one side.
The rest will be on another.
And none will see the same parade...
Or who controls what they observe!
...

May I have some of what you are feeling?
Whatever it is it makes you shine...
In a lustered glow.
Whatever it is it makes you sparkle
...
