Candy Man

Candy reminds a lady of her times with her husband.

 

My candy dish is full of sugary sweet treats.

Each piece holds symbolic meaning for me.

 

New York Pepper Mint Pattys take me back

to a snow filled day, just you and me playing

around in the white crystal field.

 

Pastel colored skittles in rainbow colors hold

the memory of the spring rain shower we got caught in.

The big bold rainbow that appeared afterwards,

was so elegant and beautiful.

We stood in awe.

 

Cry-baby sour bubble gum and coconut haystacks

are a delightful treat.

It was even more a delight when you proposed to

me behind a bail of hay, I cried  like a baby.

 

Bit-O-Honey is just as special, because each

time I pop the sweet tid bid in my mouth I

think of you husband, my honey.

 

Dark chocolate hershey kisses are rich and delectable,

but not as potent as the kisses you share with your

tasty lips.

 

I giggle everytime I reach for a kit kat bar, my nick

name you gave to me one night in the car.

 

Fireballs are firey and red hot, heats up my mouth

like we heat up in bed with love, passion and desire.

 

When I reach for a sugary treat, and find the candy

dish empty, you stand there with a smile.

I reach for you and hold you tight, my sweet

sugar daddy with all my might.

Ahh. Such a sweet poem. I love the progression. Perhaps a few spelling / grammer mistakes e.g. Take(s) me back; Hold(s) the memory and purpose/ propose? Coconut haystacks ARE a delightful treat. These changes don't affect the poem which is delicious! Well done

[Bette]

I love the way you use the candy to describe different events with the one you love in your life. It is creative and made me smile.

Very creative and lots of fun to read. Really enjoyed this. I wrote something very similar a few years back. If I find it, I'll send it on to you.
You are too sweet. lol

nice job.

[G. K. Bostic]

I think this is very clever and creative. :) There were two subject/verb agreement distractions (should be Hershey kisses are and fireballs are) but those are minor fixes. I reeeally like the lines about the kit kat bar! ;) This was delightful.
