Bounty Is Counted Sweetest

This poem was inspired by Emily Dickinson's poem "Success is counted sweetest." It was also inspired by the massive amount of candy my English teacher has given me and some of my classmates for our good participation in class... Bounty is counted sweetest By those who always participate. To comprehend the swirls of chocolate Requires responses so great. Not one of all the spoiled Who ate the unearned delight to-day Can tell the definition, So clear, of Victory! As they, glorious, smiling, On whose worthy tongues The approaching taste of triumph Bursts saccharine and strong!
