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.
...

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

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
...

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
...

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, ...
...

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.
...

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

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

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,
...

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
...

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.]

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.
...

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

A girl named Sandy lost her candy
While playing with her favourite rag doll,
She went downstairs and took a deep breath
And started to cry in the hall.
...

Wind blows, trees sway, a brush with the night hour. A treat for prayers for All Saints Day. A mask or gourd or pumpkin to scare the spirits away. The color orange to represent harvest time while black means death for all time. Halloween is the spirit's night.
Halloween Spirit oh how I miss the dreamers at night
all waiting in the patch at night,
living loving within laughter of the street light
