Two Original Lollipop Poems


Here are two lollipop poems. I wrote Lollipop Rainbow a couple of years ago for a collection of poems about candy.


Lollipop Rainbow

Circle of sunshine
lemony light
tart on my tongue

Sweet and sour
green balloon
limey, lickable,

Round red planet
a crunchable cherry

Large purple polka dot
of grapy delight

My favorite--
blue raspberry…
taste of sky
melting in my mouth


(Note: I must apologize that the lollipops in the picture I posted aren't round. They're the only lollipops that I had on hand to take a picture of to post with this poem. I bought them for a very special occasion on Sunday. I'll tell you more about the special occasion next week.)




Lollipop Haiku

Yellow lollipop
Lickable lemon-flavored
Tart taste of sunshine




Lollipops
The world’s largest lollipop was certified by the Guinness Book of World Records on June 25, 2002. The cherry-flavored Jolly Rancher weighed 4,016 and measured five feet square and 18.9 inches thick.

At Blue Rose Girls, I have an original poem titled Lilacs.

    i'm with mary lee, "lollipops on hand" just isn't something that could be in this household.

    thanks for the sweet treats, yum!
