candy hearts

In my hand was left a box of candy hearts,
each had a sweet phrase, written
in pink lettering.
I emptied the container on the table
examining each heart
for breaks.
None were broken in this box.
So I arranged them with
the words up.
Playing with the words on the hearts
silly stuff, really, saying
Love you, I'm sure.
I picked these two up, eating them
tasting the sugar,
digesting.

great write Raskin

I loved this one it brought back memories yet again,
I do remember the candy you talk about we used to get them also haven`t seen them for a few years now though.
but we used to love reading them before we popped them in our mouths to relish the sweet. thanks for the memory, great poem from Willow

Yes

they brought back memories to me as well, all pleasant. I used to make funny sentences out of a box of them, just a busy mind I suppose. Thanks for commenting. raskin

"Love your poem", I'M sure

Good one Raskin. Have you seen a box of those lately? they make them with email sayings and AIM sayings now. like, LOL, JK, BRB, IM me, etc....for kids nowadays!

I'm sure. They are as appropriate now as they were years ago and still as much fun. Thanks for reading and commenting. raskin
