Ode to the Candy Shop
December 14, 2022
Upon entering into
The candy shop, scents so sweet
Waft swiftly through the air to
Me. My eyes land upon treat
After treat on silver trays,
Iced with chocolate frosting.
The smell leaves me in a haze;
Coming here is exhausting!
I turn, and spot sugar, spun,
Dripped over fudge like honey.
I wish to taste every one
Of their flavors of gummies:
Lime, lemon, orange galore!
Raspberry, strawberry, and
more spread throughout the large store,
enough to fill my whole hand!
Tangy, tasty lollipops
Stand proudly in the tall racks,
Waiting all over the shop
To become afternoon snacks.
This emporium’s goodies
Are a wonder to behold.
I leave the store with cookies
And a story to be told.
