Last Monday, I posted poems about spring flowers—and noted
how nice it is to see their bright colors in the garden after winter gives way to spring.
Today, I thought I’d post three original poems about some colorful candies that bring bright
tastes to our tongues
SWEET SHOWERS
April showers
Bring May flowers--
But
Showers of lemon drops
Help grow my lollipops.
JELLYBEANS
Jelly
Jelly
Jellybean
Lemon, lime, and tangerine
Cherry, orange, wintergreen
Grape, vanilla, licorice
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.
Yummy worms
Gummi worms
Wriggle in my tummy worms.
Gooey chewy
Dandy worms
How I love these
Candy worms!

It sounds as if you have a very interesting household, Elaine, growing lollipops and wriggley worms in the tummy. I have one dish of mints that my older granddaughter likes. The younger, almost the same age as yours, hasn't discovered candy yet, but I know she will. Thanks for these fun poems.
I love JELLYBEANS - the poem *and* the candy.
Coincidentally I'm also reading LEMONADE this weekend, and loving that, too.
Candy poems? I love it! Maybe I should write an ode to Cadbury Creme Eggs. Thanks for shating, Elaine.
Jellybeans and gummi worms are such fun poems. I can't wait to share them with my granddaughter! I bet your little Julia loves her grandma's poems! : )
