Best Taffy Poems

The first best friend I ever had,
you run miles in my dreams
You're by my side, you wait for me
You're loyal, you've always been

You never speak a complaining word
and your eyes always smile
You love me unconditionally,
You're open, like a child

And you'll live on here in my...

Salt-water taffy is Atlantic City’s treat.
Known to many, it is both chewy and sweet.
This is an ever-popular type of candy
that has been around for over a century.

Pieces are wrapped in waxed paper individually,
and contained in boxes with varied weight and quantity.
Being something any visitor savors,

This taffy pull
Will stretch each heart

Making pure and sweet and stronger
To the salty tear
Add an act that’s dear
And endurance instead of flour


So that when loved ones leave
We’ll know not to grieve
True life stretches past this hour...

Sugary mix roiling in a saucepan in the heart
of the house: a light-filled kitchen where family meals
were taken in lieu of the dining room, thought of by me
in two words: 'formality' and 'dark', whereas, windows
and a glass door in the kitchen let in light, led...

He creamed his jeans. 
Ripped the seams  
when fellows beamed  
at his wet seeds  
wasted on these  
cold floors below me.

Can I have some more, please?   
My sphincter...

Taffy and I walk together
finding golf balls in the heather.
A true friend as we slog around
a best partner so I have found.
Wanting my dog to have a proper name
in line with respect for this noble game.
Named for rotund William Howard Taft
a golfing president that sounded...

We stretched
the sugar coated
sweet taffy
all day long
taffy snap back
into our mouths
and roll down
into our
childish bellies
as, we buzzed
our wings
through the
tall switch
grass of home
in a dragonfly
happy mode...

circus to taffy,
breezy says Weazie
come and sit next to me
part of the make believe...,
storm brewing
hands to what your doing
burning bridges,
fancy inclusion
it appeals to the heavy senses

love 
is the essence of our existence
let love rule
beside the family jewel
stolen away the excursion

Thermol pad toasting

Sorrow came to me and cleared my eye.

But , OH , mye , whye , has she displaced me.

Twisting and turning 
In your mind
Pulling in all directions 
Decide this or that

If right I am not wrong
If wrong then I am not right
What should I do?
Life is a Taffy pull...
