Joanna Daniel Poet Rhyme

How Sweet It Is

HOW SWEET IT WAS 

I stand here recalling my childhood 
When we went on a playing spree
Running across the rocky road 
Pretending to be a dove so free

We created our own little street galaxy 
And played skittles across our Milky Way 
The one who hit all was titled hero sno-caps
And the one who missed was zero butterfinger jay

Running around the stones like nerds 
We had a good time like a jolly rancher 
We ate sweet Kit Kat during the breaks
And will always remember that 5th avenue adventure.

Chris Green October 11, 2018 at 9:28 AM That was really fun to read Jo. You did a wonderful job with the candy bar names. (You forgot to make "skittles" bold) In case that matters or not. Loved this one.
