Caramel

One hundred sixty days

Not so many orders

Who could have imagined?

The caramel times were over

 

Spellbound by those others

With their witchy confectioner ways

All the raisins, all the colors

Even almonds and those cashews that they use today

                     None of them behave

 

One hundred sixty-two days

Not near those numbers in order

Why does no one seem to want

Our caramel anymore the world over?

 

Answer why the caramel’s not your favorite anymore

Why does it not shine yours eyes?

We know there are more choices anymore

But do not forget the goodness within caramel lies

 

Better then old fashioned black licorice, some say

Better still then Swedish fish, red as they can be

Coated in chocolate any kind or type

Caramel so complete, it should be all you need

The candy is just perfect…why can’t you see?

 

One hundred eighty days

What a compass switch in orders

In they came from ‘round the world

Finally, the caramel neglect is over!

 

Orders, orders everywhere

Finally, a change of heart, a caramel care

For that smooth, smooth candy conundrum

Again a sweet chance to dream and we dare…

…to dream about caramel everywhere!

I love the way your writing just flows down the page:) I also caramel, it is my favorite candy. lol, it is sweet, smooth, and just melts :) lol

I love caramel since I was little, I have made my own pie and I added chocolate, strawberries, and caramel:) it turned out pretty good actually and now that I read this poem I want to make some more. I can taste the caramel and I don't even have any, yet:)

Thanks for sharing this with us, who don't like candy? lol

I truly hear music when I read your stuff. And caramel, just dreamy! Answer why the caramel's not your favorite anymore, why does it not shine your eyes? My favorite line.
