Candy-Coated Dreams

Spearmint grass and cotton candy trees Banana palms and coconut breeze Fiery cinnamonworks to glisten the skies Apple turnovers and cherry-filled pies Tiny teacup cookies with sugar plates Sweet cranberry sauce and jellied dates Chocolate clouds with a banana-split sun Delicate roses taste like raspberry gum Juicy sweet treats in a world of fun Stretching as far and as wide as I can run Hershey-kissed mountaintops with milk-dud dirt Blistering vanilla-frosting fog dances by my skirt Cherry-flavored rocks made from candy too Every color of our rainbow --- purple, pink, and blue White-chocolate doves fly hollow in the sky More candy here than anyone can buy

Ver nicely written! I love the imagery, so vivid and inviting. You must love candy as much as I do!
