sweets and every day
every day and a sweet shop
On a plateau in the middle of nowhere, there was
a shop selling chocolate and week-old newspapers
I had no money, but in exchange, the man
accepted a hail of hay, the farmer gave when he
told me to go make my own bed, I had slept with
The milkmaid he had wanted for himself
as

Sweets are best food
Temptations for sweets could never be drained.
All attempts to avoid sweets went in vain.
To adore sweets, my tongue is trained.
Demons of greed for sweets coul not be slain.

Sweets Pleiades
Sweets in any form
So alluring to me
Sumptuous beverage
Soft caramel pudding
Sweet candy or cookies
Snickerdoodle or cake
Sugar cube, I love too.

Something Sweet
Something Sweet
I want something sweet
Pestered by my brain
It’s like a recurring tweet
I am trying to refrain
Something sticky like toffee
A gooey dessert of delight
To eat with a cup of coffee
Resisting with all my might
A chocolate bar or wafer
To ease my craving buds
Apple would be much safer
But it tastes like fairy suds
I am waiting for 4 o’clock
The

1st family reunion
2025.2.1
My big happy family 1st reunion.
Today, Saturday, is the 4th day of CNY.
It is a bit late to gather and to celebrate.
Can't help it though, since most members,
Worked during the weekdays.
Great grandma, grandmas, mothers and fathers, all
Sisters and brothers, including the in-law.
Aunties and Uncles, nephew, nieces and cousins
And their girl and boy friends.
Grand children

Treats
• Pink envelopes with letters inside
• Red and white balloons filled with sweets
• This experience is not an unusual one
• On St. Val's I always get treats
• I don't know from who
• I don't know from where
• But they're done with good intentions
• So I don't really care

Son Watch Your Sweets
Picture Promt Paradox Poetry Contest
Sponsor-Margarita Lillico
Your mother's mistake springs from her sweet hearts
That summer midnight your dad lacked the smarts
We did our best in our fall
Winter came and life's snowball
Son, be wise of life's many moving tarts

Treats And Sweets
Lined with a fence of modeling chocolate,
treats and sweets but never gingerbread;
My garden grows popcorn and cotton candy
eat all you like it just keeps germinating;
Treats and sweets but never gingerbread,
my cupboard is all out of fondant;
Eat all you like it just keeps germinating
pappi’ caught in sugared shrubbery;
My cupboard is all out of fondant,
such a

Thanksgiving Dinner
November came in downright quiet
Scorning seasons who bring a riot
Thanksgiving would come fast,
Scrumptiousness at long last,
Warranting you’d go on a diet
Sun shining bright in sweet November
Causing souls to surely remember,
Thanksgiving brings delights,
Sweetness in tiny bites,
Bellies eager to meet December

Bag O' Sweets
"Bag o’ sweets"
like fantales chewed slowly
the concept of what’s left
sucks on the sweet marrow of it
sticky caramel pages
stuck in between flowers pressing
the parallax pollen view of it
never hallowed
the wrappers flimsy, quaint
short stories unwrapped
violet crumbles
pollinated footprints
left like scorched fingerprints
melting moments
spooning the soothing
of deep thinking honeytraps
candy years
worn like necklaces
loved and worshipped like

Charley Barley Pig
sweet tooth pig Charley Barley had cupcakes on her head.
tied into an oversized crystal goblet, full of sugarplums all red.
there were lollypops and m and m’s, so she would be well fed.
we followed her all over hoping she would drop a few my cousin said.

Polar Bear Who Eats Sweets
I am the polar bear who loves to eat sweets.
You can have hams, chickens and other meets.
I like peppermint, chocolate and gingerbread.
Especially those men baked by my cousin Ed.
I am the polar bear who loves to taste icing every day.
Frosting makes my pancakes taste a particularly wonderful way.
You can have barbequed pork, hamburgers, steaks and

I Hope For Sweets This Valentine's Day
My dear can we somehow meet in the middle
Our eyes say yes, and our hearts say yes
Yet the river of life is rapidly going by
With no waterfall in sight
It would be nice if we could stream as one
In that golden pond under sunny skies
Us, two swans swimming in harmony
In the past, we were like two

Parents Being Who They Are
T'was in the 1960s in South Africa. There was a brand of sweets that fascinated us young ones. Inside the pocket of sweets were toys - little appealing toys that spoke to us. One would, upon opening theirs, find a caterpillar, a gun wielding soldier or other scintillating wonder! We would have loved our parents
