Short Gumdrop Poems

Instead of singing,
I hear screams,
No gumdrop visions,
Demon dreams,

Boughs have been broken,
Cradles fall,
No star-lights, star-brights,
Shine at all,

No pretty horses,
No rock-a-byes,
No soft melodies,
Dark Lullaby....

All the boys and girls 
run to her soft call;
Like a howling wind
is how it beckons,
they cannot resist;

Sweet lollipops 
young lips tickle;
Saliva builds 
for a gumdrop;

Enduring 
the torment
like a champ;

Candy
will eat 

kids....

You can be anyone you want to be! The teacher said.
I want to be a marshmallow.
I want to be a frog.
I want to be a daisy.
I want to be a computer.

The teacher stopped the kindergarteners.
You have to be a human.
I want to be a unicorn.
I want to be a dragon.
I want to be fire.

What do you want to be, teacher?
I want to be a gumdrop, she admitted....

Box canyon candy land,scrawled upon its walls 
the first children's book-illustrated by the ancients~
Glazed by queen frosting and a gingerbread man
A jolly blind man with a gumdrop candle stick 
tried to read it but forever scorched its meaning~
Ghost Dancers echoing through minted halls
bawling"lord licorice is coming with bushels
of thunder sticks and buckets of black rain
quickly clamor out or forever be washed away!"...

Sanmati, my messenger, is no more a milksop.
Ardent though is she never will yawp.
Nagging sometimes though in some shop.
Merrily walks in crowd alone till atop.
Amends her needs; tackles one with strop-
Till he agrees with her, else does lop.
In always high spirits, ready to swop
Joy or sorrow equally treats like gumdrop.
Angry if treats us like a bellhop
In our home or out, but never plop
Nor cry in public to show us flop....
