Poem Title

Theme Statement

I choose the theme Candy because it is something near and dear to my heart.

Candy is any person sweet treat. Whether it is chocolate, jelly beans, hard candy, or

cotton candy it is all delicious. I think it is important because candy is everywhere.

Their favorite kind find yours in the following poems!

A Penny Candy Store Walking by an old abandoned buildingThat once housed a penny candy store, I envisioned all the wide-eyed childrenAs they gazed at the display of candy galore.

I was saddened by the closure, And it took me back to the days of yoreWhen I, too, was spending my penniesAt the neighborhood's penny candy store.

As a youngster, I stared in disbeliefAt all the candy unsurpassedAnd often rubbed my fingers unconsciously onThe counter top of highly polished glass.

At the proprietor's helpful suggestionI would only remain silent and gape.The variety of candy caused me to be uncertainAs to what penny candy I would take.

What a thrill to have a penny in my hand? It is a feeling that I still cherish today.I was able to go to the penny candy storeTo select and buy candy my own way.

Though I may still be indecisive at timesWhile viewing the niceties by the score, The thoughts of time tried candy still remainFrom the old, neighborhood candy store.

Candy-Wrap Well I like ice cream and candy barLike Ben and Jerry's, Hersey's and MarsPop rocks, pop-tarts, and pop-cycles tooMarshmallow cereal how about youI'm gonna eat this candy till I get sickI'm gonna give this lollipop another lickA lot of people always tend to give upBut I say you ain't through until you throw-upBut if you're not careful you'll get cavitiesBut all you got to do if brush dem teefethiesI can't help I have a really bad sweet-toothBut I really love candy and that's the sweet-truthAs long as I'm eating lots of candyI'll be one very happy fatty.

• Candy

• CandyBy everyone required, Absolutely admired,

Who can detest, What tastes the best?

Munch and CrunchEnjoying it all,

Snack or lunch, Having a ball,

Bitter, sour, or sweet, If its candy, its always a treat,

Chewy, fizzy, or a surprise inside, Candy shows us were all kids inside.

So come on and join the team, Get some candy to the extreme,

Don’t you dare ever doubt it, That there is a way without it!

Carolin Tenhove

• Candy Coated Dream

• Such bitter sweetness falls within a candy coated dreamthe place where hope extends beyond the sugar coated scheme

as we dance and dance, around the candy cane sticksPrancing hand in hand, as we come to one we both lick

Love blooms as we meet in a kiss, like in Lady and the TrampOur candy kingdom ruled by two, as the umpa lumpa's dance

We walk through the land, and gaze forever into each other's eyesAnd then climb the steps to ride down the milk chocalatey slide

Landing in a pool of such wonderfully pure sweetnessWe embrace in a hug, that like the chocolate, is made of pure

greatnessAs I watch you get out of the pool covered in chocolate like a 100

GrandLooking like my favorite candy, which melts in my mouth, not in my

handWe laid together on the ground like a twizler all rolled up in one

Both nibbling at each other, until our hearts both became undoneForever to this day I will declare you my lollipop queen

Such beautiful sweetness falls inside a candy coated dream

Nyrical Poet

My World In my dream,stars were glowing in the sky.Marshmallows fell likesnow falling.The sun rose and it was a beautiful day.Cotton candy were the clouds. I walk on and I sawgraham cracker stepping stones.Lifesaver flowers rose from the ground.Long pretzels stood tall.I started to eat. I heard a sound.It sounded like my mom.I woke up, and said,"I don't want to get up. I'm still eating!"By: Taylor

• My Candy World• • I was walking through• a forest with silly things.• Marshmallows were frogs• That hopped all around the• lollipop world.• Juice was the flowing streams.• That is the best to swim in.• • Kit-Kat bar trees• grew Swedish fish,• that were all different kinds of colors,• except white and black.• Candy burgers were the butterflies.• That was very tasty.• • Gingerbread men were the bushes,• That were mostly brown.• I'd rather go get a tummy ache • Then to stop eating!• Yummy!!!• By: Kayleigh

The Candy Drawerby Michael Anderson

Well, we were just kids trying to get away-With something we knew we shouldn't do.

Going over to Grandma's, sneaking off to play-In the back room where we weren't supposed to.

Making sure no-one saw, behind us closing the door,With my sister Sherry and my brother Andy.Over to the dresser, sliding open the drawer,

Our eyes lit up as we saw all that candy.

Oh, we all got our share, there was plenty to spare.Still, one by one, we'd all sneak back for more.

But we never thought about the candy ever running out-From Grandma's "personal" candy drawer.

Somehow Time sped up and the visits slowed down.Somewhere, the sweetness slipped from our thought.

Soon we were all married, living lives of our own,And the drawer was all but forgot.

The day snuck up on us all, you were no-longer here.Only the memories of what we shared before.Why did it take your passing to see it so clear?

It wasn't for you, but for us, you filled that drawer.

Cause we all got our share with plenty to spare.And when we came back, there always was more.

But we never thought about the candy ever running out-From your "personal" candy drawer.

Oh, I cant help believe you were watching us then-As I'm sure you are now are from heaven above.

Now, the drawer is empty, but I'll always remember when-You filled it one piece at a time with your love.

Cause we were just kids getting away-With something we were supposed to.Sneaking off to the backroom to play,

Grandma, you always knew.Is it too late, Grandma, to say thank you?

Heather Moreton

love my jelly beansI even love machinesThat make my jelly beans

Red, pink, purple, and blueI will all chewIf only you knewI'd even eat them out of my shoe

One bean, two beans, three beans, a millionI'd even eat one hundred billion

I'd eat them non stopI'd eat them right in the candy shopI'd eat them until my tummy would pop

You can never have to manyI never heard of anyone that didn't have anyPeople always have plenty

Eat until I don't have anymoreAlways wish I had some more......Back to my candy drawer

These poems were chosen because the really expressed the

point that I wanted to come across. That

when ever anyone has candy the turn into a five year old at heart.

Candy is a way to release all of our lid

energy.
