Maria Williams Poet Rhyme

Coconut Kisses and Peppermint Streams

This is written in acknowledgement to the lovely sweet men and wonderful Poets on Poetry Soup who have supported and encouraged me since I first joined. PSST! I’m certain they all have a sweet-tooth.

Demetrius Trifiatis, Silent One, Paul Callus, Victor Buhagiar, Chris Green, Peter Duggan and Darren White, Robert Lindley and George V - A big thank you to all you fine Poets. 

I wade to you through peppermint streams
While thoughts of sugar plums dance in my head
And when on land I mark my way
With bright colored jelly beans of green and red

There are lollipop signs with delicious swirls
Atop red and white posts like candy canes
With delectable names like Chocolate Fudge Mews
Caramel Road and Honey Dew Lanes

Sweet Avenues and Streets - a mouth-watering choice
This yellow brick road looks so like Honey comb
Oh did you tell me to turn right or left?
Might take a bit longer to get to your home!

These bushes of delicious coconut cream kisses
And lolly golly bliss bombs ever so blue
Might tarry a bit while I sample these sweet treats
Don’t mind if I do - You won’t mind if I do?

Luscious flowers on that tree just like fairy floss
Oh my! Now this I cannot resist
Just another mouthful for along the way
Then lunch at 12 - you did insist

The ginger bread house that’s just up ahead
With a sweet fence surround like licorice twists
Its then that I see you waving to me
With a large box of chocolates - Oh what bliss!!

Afzal Nusker June 25, 2017 at 12:25 AM My stomach churns. I think I do need many spoonful of castor oil after reading this twee poem. Just kiddin...it's a fabulous poem on so many levels, Maria. Loved it utterly. Maria Williams June 25, 2017 at 2:21 AM Haha, do people still take castor oil? Might be a tad sweet this one for you, but you might find" Fruit of love", and" She" a bit more to your liking. No castor oil on those-promise!!

Vladislav Raven June 18, 2017 at 6:54 PM Hi Maria, a wonderful tribute to such fine Gents and excellent poets of course. This fun write just sings into the heart and the stomach of course. I am feeling hungry already. A much belated congratulations for your Poem Of the Day. I have missed so many of them lately. This is well thought out, excellent poetry.
