Greg Gaul Poet Rhyme

Notes About The Poem

Goody Goody Gum Drop

goody goody
gum drop
more than sweets
may mean
a lot

ate a gum drop
just popped it in
rolled around
let it spin

left and right 
hugged my cheeks
swashed about
then repeats

savor the juice
sugary delight
tickles tongue
this tiny bite

stuck to teeth
once it's in
while i smiled
big green grin

might not be
a better thing
than this
except a warm
sloshy kiss
