Richard Lamoureux Poet Quatrain

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

Timothy Hicks June 11, 2013 at 10:53 AM "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 ;) Richard Lamoureux June 11, 2013 at 2:44 PM Ha ha, I think I am best to stay away from the candy cart.

Harry Horsman June 11, 2013 at 10:32 AM no matter what you pen, Richard, it is always special, and so inspirational... Richard Lamoureux June 11, 2013 at 2:45 PM Thanks so much Harry.

Andrea Dietrich June 11, 2013 at 12:41 AM 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! Richard Lamoureux June 11, 2013 at 6:43 AM The first line popped into my head and the rest just flowed. Thanks for the nice comment.

Victoria Anderson-Throop June 10, 2013 at 8:40 PM 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! Richard Lamoureux June 10, 2013 at 9:02 PM Thanks Victoria, nice to hear from you. Has life become less complicated? are you now home safely?
