Candy Girl

She was a bag full of crazy My silly candy girl Combination of sweet With long flowing curls Completly unpredictable A vision for my eyes My box of Craker Jacks Revealing special prize I held her for a little while I guess she wasn't mine My passion devoured A treat on which she dined I wonder where she finally went This vision from my mind My silly candy girl could never be defined Written by Richard Lamoureux I chose this on because it reminds me of what it was like to be young. The form is Quatrain with a twist each stanza is 8/6/6/6

"Buy me some peanuts and Cracker Jacks. I don't care if I ever get back!"... I believe it's safe to assume I have baseball on the mind... he he. This was a cute write. And it's okay if you overindulge... just make sure to brush your teeth afterwards, we don't want any cavities, now ;)

Ha ha, I think I am best to stay away from the candy cart.

I think a silly candy girl sounds kind of nice. My mom used to say that poem to me about Andie loves penny candy, something like that. Did you ever know a girl actually named Candy? What a name, huh? So what inspired you to do this one. It's pretty cool!

The first line popped into my head and the rest just flowed. Thanks for the nice comment.

I think we all have one of these in our lives...and they seem to disappear like smoke.... like the cracker jack lines...Nice write!

Really enjoyed the vision of excitement for a crazy love that took you for a sweet ride (and still left wondering from time to time where she might be)... very creative ...... :)

Absolutely stunning! I've met a few like this in my life. A good lesson that I'd rather not ever have repeated again. Excellent!
