Poem
Life most certainly has its ups and downs. Sometimes life may be as breathtaking as a Galaxy of whimsical Starburst. Heroes and adored Lifesavers protect our most beloved towns. The pessimistic Goobers in life are the absolute worst. Even if there is a bump in your Rocky Road, remember you will always reach your dreams. If you claim that you cannot fit in with the Smarties, then you are nothing but an Air Head. Swim towards your goal like Swedish Fish soaring through a flowing stream. Take 5 to pause and think, invent the next Whatchamacallit instead. Tootsie Roll down your window and shout out in joyous bliss, ignore Mike and Ike’s conniving Snickers. Be ahead of the crowd because the Slo Pokes always miss. Admire how the glorifying star within the Milky Way flickers. Nothing is more rewarding than a gleeful Pay Day, take the 100 Grand with pride because you earned it. The Dove coos above and the illuminating smile on your face is there to stay, but if you begin to taste the nauseating flavor of distasteful sourness, do not put up a fit. Remember that one must taste the sour in order to appreciate the sweet, take a risk like one of the Three Musketeers. Think about all of the Hot Tamales you could potentially meet. Face all of those belittling Whoppers of fears. Eventually, you will connect all of life’s meaningful Dots. Life will become a Candyland where it only rains colorful Skittles. Run the exhilarating Marathon and miss Zero sweet spots. Eventually, you will learn to adore life’s mind-boggling riddles. October 4, 2018 How Sweet It Is Poetry Contest Sponsored by: Carol Connell
