A photocopier without toner
Sometimes becomes an office loaner
I was no exception
So I sold confections
Becoming invaluable to my owner....

Oh what joy my grandchildren deploy.

Hugs, giggles and kisses,
They are my untold riches.

Curious questions and sweet confections,

Grandma, what is that bird in the tree?
Do you have more candy for me?...

so cold confections
it's hot lovin' this ice cream
frozen ice sweet treat

there my mouth waters
oh,  longing for chocolate
vanilla ice cream

confections of
         pleasure
a visual
         delight
         of stored
         beauty
explored
     by the eye-
vibrant
      reverberations
intense
      opulence..
       invigorate
in restless
    rhythms of
                colour...

My Maroon Best Friend

Is there for me day or night,
Constant, warm and cuddly bright!
What would I do without this 
beloved companion?
The Keurig maker, my steadfast
connection,
To a plethora of drinks of heavenly
confections!

routines
     always
       stagnate
suffocate
    as they
        envelop
dreams
    in
       silent
         confections:
beauty
&dignity
     disappear
in
abstract
uniformity
     consumed
     by
     chance,
dwindle,
diminish
die
without
     purpose...

conjure cumulus frost bitten clouds
blinding billows sculptured shrouds

zeniths growing burgeoning flowers
amplified pulsing pastel towers 

cotton confections mountainous might
splendiferous altars vestal white 

veiled vapors frosty smoke
cumulus canvas draws cloud gazing folk...

Christmas crazies conjure confections in candy kisses.
Wee whimsical winter warlock wistfully wishes
Dreamy darling dolly deliberately does dishes,
Fluidly forever fixing finest fluorescent fishes.
Seasoned sassiness scoring subtly in swishes.
Christmas crazies conjure confections in candy kisses....

She speaks 

sweetest confections 
purest ingredients 
tastiest treats 
scrumptious delight

She sings 

cool summer breeze 
wind through my hair 
worries recede 
ray of sunlight

She sleeps 

prayers have been answered
dreams are revealed
touched by an angel
heavenly sight

My Little Girl...

Drift away, resting, golden wood canoe,
still black water, yellow flecked,
sweet pollen confections.

Idle hours, soft swaddled in sun's warm wrap,
friendly heat, tranquil musings,
lily pad cookies float.

No conflict creases my deep water moat,
peace reigns within my cradle
Mother Earth gently rocks.

I love -- though there be imperfections…
For I am not quite perfected yet; 
Still I am striving to be… as sweet confections
Without griping or regret
Loving unconditionally
--Yes--
Loving unconditionally
Without griping or regret
Still I am striving to be … as sweet confections
For I am not quite perfected yet;
I love-- though there be imperfections…...

Bright blue sky with glowing white clouds
  theatrics of the heavens please
  heart and mind into solace.

Entrances spirit to fly away
   and leave this earthly home
     to realms unknown.

Rescuer of the vagabond
   the empty stomach has found a friend
   among the drifter's roads.

Rainbow bright amid the rain
  colorful with promises
  confection of creation!...

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...

To a Kind and True person
Mystic Rose

I love it in this kitchen
The aroma is just fine
The taste of these confections
complimented
                     by fine wine
And although there's many Chefs
And recipes to savor 
I'm drawn to something wholesome
A simple unique flavor

It's so very satisfying, 
Cooking with this group
But I'm always looking forward
To a cup of Rose's soup...

Oh citrus, my mistress
Exquisite, delicious
Appealing, revealing
No zestier feeling
Acidic confections
Ascerbic dilections
So tangy, so tasty
The tart in a pastry
A scurvy elixir
A fine tonic mixer
Nutritious, sumptuous
Mouth-watering, scrumptious
Exquisite, delicious
Oh citrus, my mistress

I don't think it is a McWhirtle, probably iambic trimeter? Dunno.

the cup, a sip away,
just out of reach,
as i taste
all your poetry —
like sweet danish
to my caffeinated morning.

the cup, just out of reach,
but i’m too excited to read
the lovely confections
in front of me.

my hand longs to grab
the mug’s handle,
but like a cloud
i drift.

finally, i take a sip —
lukewarm at best,
but
friends
you
are 
worth it!

Turning to merge with the happy
herd,
I heard clinking against frosty
 glass --
Ladyfingers escaping tiramisu,
Followed by creamy swirls of
Chocolate mousse -- 
And beckoned to their shelf, I
asked
If they desired of me to have a
word.

A dolce chorus of confections
confessed
How to my hips they wished to
bestow
Love handles destined to be
caressed 
Through the streets of the Feast
Of San Gennaro.

...               Spicy Gumdrops (Epulaeryu)

                      Chewy sugary gumdrops 
                           Spicy enticements 
                        Full-calorie confections
                         Zesty, sugar-snacks
                           Sweet, tantalizing 
                                  Delightful
                                      Stop!

My cousin and I were dismayed
By the kids who were in her third grade
They had no answers to tell
Though they spoke very well
And knew how impressions were made!

They earned an A+ for endurance
For displaying remarkable effluence
They could babble all night
With no fact in sight
Nor any sign of congruence! 

Oh, how wise we thought that we were
We could see their minds were a blur!
But now, mid-elections
And selfie confections
We see why they were so sure....

Thoughts in my mind like rolling clouds in the sky finding new ways to flirt
Far off confections that bring forth questions of truth, love, and even hurt 
Discovering new methods of sensuality, never stopping or thinking to subvert
Swirling together in beautiful destruction without forcing one another to convert
Disappearing beyond the horizon, seldom catastrophic, but also rarely inert
On the days when I'm not in your presence, how is it my thoughts of you do not divert...
