Yesterday, I posted a poem titled Marshmallow Chicks for Easter. Today, I have a couple more poems about candy that children might possibly find in their Easter baskets tomorrow. I posted the jellybean poem previously at Wild Rose Reader. I just finished a draft of my gummi worms poem. I began writing that poem a couple of years ago for a poetry collection about candy. I went back this afternoon and finished it…for now. Changes may be made to it in the future.

Any flavor that I wish
Sitting in my candy dish
Every color looks delish!
GUMMI WORMS
Gummi worms
Yummy worms
Wiggle in my tummy worms.
Jellied jigglers in my mouth—
I take three bites.
They’re heading south.

Wriggle in my tummy worms.
Gooey chewy

How I love these
Candy worms!
Thank you for the idea of the poems in the basket. They're great to share!

Bridget,
I did write a collection of poems about candy. I've posted about it at Wild Rose Reader. The collection takes readers through the year with different kinds of candy. For example, I have a poem about chocolates in a heart-shaped box for Valentine's Day, the "Marshmallow Chicks" poem for Easter, poems about toasting marshmallows and saltwater taffy for summer, a poem about licorice for Halloween, etc.
