A candy cane fell off the tree
And landed on my pussy's knee
She licked sweet hair
'Til it was bare
Some call that, "Serendipity"!...

and round the long shepherd's crook
sweet and refreshing

Christmas peeked her head around the corner
I shot her in the eye with a chocolate pie
full blown food fight game was on now
Gingerbread man and candy cane came at me next...

I always wanted to jump out of an airplane
My friends they would tell me that I was just insane
I took me a chance
but I lost my pants
Giving the ladies a peek at my candy cane...

All hopes and wishes

   for the perfect Christmas gift

      ....told on Santa's knee



As Santa bestows

     the gift of a candy cane

          ....a list is given...

A
     candy
cane     does
fall        last
on a      good
eats      list
that      I'll
            have
            this
            time
            each
            year

Down On Candy Cane Lane

Several Elves Burst Into Flame

Rudolph Was Sad

But, Santa Was Mad

Knowing Spiked Eggnog Was To Blame.



Santa Put The Drink On A Shelf

Too High Up For Any Elf.

But, The Elves Formed A Plan

And Hired A Man

Who Took And Drank It Himself....

My
Christmas 
love
has eyes
as warm as
cocoa
sipped
by a 
cozy fire.
A candy cane
smile draws me
to him.
It 
is a 
treat to taste
sugar 
plum
lips so
sweet!

upon the painted grains of sea
I posted dreams of a candy-cane
barely on the verge of belief, we
drown myself to sleep in a bed of insane

within the breathing skin of a canvas
you rub your brokenness into my heart
shallowly I drift to clean up the mess
that neither of us would ever start...

Florescent sherbet Cirrus puffs floating
O’er wavy ribbon candy horizon,
Candy cane sun shafts with sprinkles coating,
Licking a custard filled moon rising.

Marmalade splattered skies,
wisps of folded blueberry streaked batter,
devoured by my eyes.
Is imagination over matter.

We all live our lives in our own individual way,
be it microbe, plant or animal. We all live one life then it's taken away.
I fail to see the positive side of this situation.
It's akin to allowing a child only one lick of a sweet candy cane,
and then deny that child from ever experiencing such sweetness again....

Orange blooms at dusk
goblins in the pumpkin patch
rich fall's come again

ghosts haunt dark cool nights
scarecrows wave in harvest fields
sad trees weep colors

devils on doorsteps
trick or treat candy cane lane
warm fireside cider

gaudy, red nosed clown
creeping like sun going down
when wind is howling...

Dark Chocolate Rivers sinfully twist

...through marshmallow trees in May

Cotton candy webs clenched in my fist

Music-box songs lightly play 

Cupcake Merry-Go-Round safely sings

As I watch the Cherry-bombs rain

Lolly Pop Lights in colorful rings

All aboard my candy cane train~



*inspired by my seven yr old daughter....Brooke...

She was desperately beautiful
terribly sublime
Her breath as sweet as candy cane
her skin just so divine
And when she walked the Angels stopped
to marvel and adore
Her every step a guiding light
her presence to allure
And then one day she took my ring
my name she chose to share
A lifetime of unending bliss
—two hearts forever paired

Candy cane collector cooks confections
Accepting others' ideas with affections
Revising and rewriting recipes regularly
Creating candy concoctions creatively
He is our baker the neighborhood said
All the December candy he made in red
March candies were green clover shaped
Super hero cookies were aptly caped
What started out as a Christmas thing
Ended up as a profession with extra zing...

Written upon the contemplation of---a bell pepper prior to 
chopping it up for stew

 
Flat white seeds cluster
Like ants on a candy cane
hiding the secret
of millions of unborn
pepper plants.
Slowly we blossom, 
explode around our center,
dangling like Christmas balls
green against green.
The story of our lives lies
within us,
tucked in a safe with no key, 
Nature's treasure chest....

Peppermint Princess tries for attention daily
Wearing her candy cane Christmas colors so gaily,
It is only June the Calendar Enforcer in a prissy way.
Peppermint Princess does not care; she has come to play.

She dances around the Christmas Prince batting her eyes.
He has heard of her reputation, which is no big surprise.
She is a cute little thing he agrees with Jeeves, his Squire.
Gives him permission to date her, for she lights his fire....
