Notes About The Poem

Underlying theme is sweet things. I eat well but I am partial to the occassional sweet treat.

Fancy Something Candied

            Sweet tooth

                                candy

                                      biscuit
                                        risk it
                                    
                                    truffles
                                     ruffles
                   
                                     fritters

                              plum sauce
                                 not dross

                          jam bars
                             reach stars. 

                         gumdrops
                           no flops

                       ganache
                      at bash 

                     compote
                      of note  

                   souffle
              away

       ice pops
   are tops

       bonbons
          spot ons
   
           fondue
             mind you

                praline
                  cool scene
    
                syrup
                cheer up

                  waffle 
                   baffle

            birnbrot
              so hot

              pastry
                 tasty

        strudel
          oh well
