My Candy Cane Train

Dark Chocolate Rivers sinfully twist ...through marshmallow trees in May Cotton candy webs clenched in my fist Music-box songs lightly play Cupcake Merry-Go-Round safely sings As I watch the Cherry-bombs rain Lolly Pop Lights in colorful rings All aboard my candy cane train~ *inspired by my seven yr old daughter....Brooke

A delicious rendition, Jane! I'll bet this is Brooke's favorite poem. It captures the magic of a child's imagination. Very nice! And thanks for your comments. That was actually a true story, but I dare not say that to everyone. Bless you, Carolyn
