Candy Poems

This girlchild was born as usual
and presented dolls that did pee-pee
and miniature GE stoves and irons
and wee lipsticks the color of cherry candy.
...

I am Ebenezer Bleezer,
I run BLEEZER'S ICE CREAM STORE,
there are flavors in my freezer
you have never seen before,
...

When the shoe strings break
On both your shoes
And you're in a hurry-
That's the blues.
...

Who can take a sunrise, sprinkle it with dew
Cover it in chocolate and a miracle or two
The candy man, the candy man can
...

They sent me a salwar kameez
            peacock-blue,
                  and another
   glistening like an orange split open,
...

Sarah Cynthia Sylvia Stout
Would not take the garbage out!
She'd scour the pots and scrape the pans,
Candy the yams and spice the hams, ...
...

I read last Saturday in the
redwoods outside of Santa Cruz
and I was about 3/4's finished
when I heard a long high scream
...

Strange now to think of you, gone without corsets & eyes, while I walk on
the sunny pavement of Greenwich Village.
downtown Manhattan, clear winter noon, and I've been up all night, talking,
talking, reading the Kaddish aloud, listening to Ray Charles blues
...

I've known the pleasures of being
fired at least eleven times—

most notably by Larry who found my snood
...

When we pay a visit to the seaside,
We venture out onto the sands,
And wiggle our toes in soft golden grains,
And mould sandcastles with our hands.
...

The heavy bear who goes with me,
A manifold honey to smear his face,
Clumsy and lumbering here and there,
The central ton of every place,
...

here I am
in the ground
my mouth
open
...

Bistros, Barristas, or Café Coffee
My soul craves for coffee
Our sorrows- a storm in coffee cup
When we supped, Let them get engulfed
...

Mothers of America
let your kids go to the movies
get them out of the house so they won't
know what you're up to
...

CUTE ONE, BE MINE, LOVE ME
Valentine’s day brings them out
BE TRUE, KISS ME, HUG ME,
Sayings candy Sweethearts shout
...

"Sit in my hand."
I'm ten.
I can't see him,
but I hear him breathing
...

Candy
Is Dandy
But liquor
Is quicker.
...

Adorable chocolate...
...

Is this sweet babe
The bright crescent moon, or the charming flower of the lotus,
The honey in a flower, or the lustre of the full moon,
A pure coral gem, or the pleasant chatter of parrots,
...

[Brazil. A friend of the writer is speaking.]


Half squatter, half tenant (no rent)—
...

Smells like candy tastes so sweet.
I dive right in to this lovely piece.
So soft so good.
Exceptionally right.
...

Listen up now, I'll be gone for a while
Don't need no judge to put me on trial
There's clothes in the closet, with style
Now don't you cry, it's alright, just smile
...

butter rum candy you're my dream
crunched in the mouth while
buttercups gleam

AUTUMN RAIN: TRICKS & TREATS

Katherine becoming a white witch
Having started work at an occult shop
...

I cannot get candy enough,
Need to keep candy close by, so
When I get the urge I can stuff
Some candy in my mouth to go.
...

Holy cow, gee wiz- Wow
I have a bag of candy
A lollypop and some gumdrops
And candy bars so plenty

Two witches are on Herman street
Preparing their Halloween treats
Waiting patiently for trick or treat
With their prepared candy sweets.

With desire in their hearts,
An old story,
As if woven by time,
