Long Malted Poems

I am Andy; I love candy. I sell candy too.
Come and see the many candies that I have for you.

You can buy some chocolate in boxes or in bars.
Snickers is the very best. Here is...

In light of good memory of how things were, a woman stands unguarded. 
Pleasantries, talents, and secretive skills.
 I offered to you a drink, allowing you in.
Thinking I had chosen carefully over 37 others. ...

Tips slide on smeared plastic
A decision is mulled 
With a mantra of “Ah”
A muscle curls on lips

A ritual is completed
A summoning has been made
A Wizard scribes a spell
And stabs a wand into parchment

An alchemist perspires...

Busy going nowhere so fast 
But you have to be somewhere at last 
Instant eyes microscopic  chocolate rice 
We now have synthetic blue ice
I believe we come a long way

Candle light flickers it’s
rhythmic dance
and strikes shadows across this
brittle parchment
The sea is rolling, chomping at the boards,
angered by our trespass
I try in vain to steady my hand,
to write with even flow

The winds have long since

That amber liquid far from insipid
Like molten honey but drawn from a tap,
Bitter or dark, the choices quite stark,
God's malted ale, nature's true sap.

Vikings grew strong, strengthened their bond,
Giving them courage for mayhem galore,
A beer...

A treat that should be most exalted
Is a real vanilla malted.
Made with ice cream, milk and malt,
It’s oft forgotten, by default.

It must be mixed by a machine
Endemic to the diner scene
And served inside its silver...

Anima balances Animus
In a dance of fathomless rhythm
The hangover reaches the consciousness
The cherry tree goes on blossoming spree beside the sea
I find myself delving deep with the emotions by her hands set free

In the warmly...

Memories of days gone by,

sitting at the old lunch counter

chowing down a patty melt

and a chocolate malted

with fries that were so fresh

and hot.  Shopping there was

such a joy that found me there

on Saturday afternoon...

The corner candy store displayed,
On the counter next to where you paid,
Tall pretzel rods, two cents a pop,
In a glass container with a top.

They were often added to a bill – 
Toss some pretzels in,...

If its Hennessy that sets me free then let it be
If this ecstasy belongs to me 
Then I smoke tree
Choke me in coke 
Drown me in dope

When I was growing up in Brooklyn,
Which was way back when,
We’d always get just what we needed
In the Five and Ten:

Cosmetics, stockings, pots and pans,
Greeting cards and games;
Curtains, tablecloths and vases,
Clothes and picture frames.

Sundries (who...

malted ice flakes dancing in snow-ish rain

The menu: a dozen slick pages.
The venue: wood tables and chairs.
From breakfast to dinner
You’ll never get thinner
With food that a diner prepares.

The choices: from eggs to paninis.
The voices: from hushed to guffaws.
There’s no place instead

CONFECTIONATES  Hurt Teeth Here In My Mouth Twenty Below

Bit down on a red pop-cycle
After inhaling mint malted butter brickle

A malted made without the malt
You may think a mistake,
But take a sip - it still tastes great
Though now it's called a shake.

A real one, though, comes with a tin
Directly from the shaker,
A second glass-worth...
