I like nonesense, it wakes up the brain cells. Fantasy is a necessary ingredient in living, it's a way of looking at life through the wrong end of a telescope. Which is what I do, and that enables you to laugh at life's realities. Dr. Seuss(1904-1991)

TAKES ME BACK TO WHEN I WAS A KID - I LOVED COTTON CANDY!
It's still good
even if your not a kid, I love watching the airy strands of sugar being caught then eating them when they are still warm. Thanks for reading and leaving a comment. raskin
Raskin....
I can actually taste it from your poem. I feel all sticky....
Please... bring me a candy apple too?
Nice job, you are really good at these. I had no doubt you would be.
Linda
thanks
these are my first attempts at haiku, it is interesting to try to convey an idea in a limited number of syllables. Very concise way of writing. raskin
Good Piece
Enjoyed this raskin, good Haiku,
Dave
thanks
for commenting, I'm just trying this out for fun. raskin
I loved it as a kid
Evelyn,
I'm not so sure that I would find as fun and satisfying now that I'm an old poop. I see that we are both trying our hand at haiku. I have a couple of new ones that I will be posting. Perhaps you will check them out and give me your unbiased assessment.
Nicely done,
Frederico
I think it is
fascinating, Fred to watch the sugar spun into the cotton candy. raskin
nice...
I'm impressed at how you managed to describe cotton candy in three short lines....did you know that in Ireland we call cotton candy....candy floss...its true,lol...peace.
thank you
I didn't know that, I think by any name it is fun to eat. raskin
the joy of brevity!
Very nice, raskin. Like your images. It is such a beautiful, delicate confection that, for just that, it is worthy of a poem! Your alliteration, as usual, adds a lot.
joyce
thanks joyce
for your kind comments. These were fun to write. raskin
delicious
What! You didn't get it all over your face?! Good memories...
oh
at one point in my life it was probably all over my face and my hair. I'm neater now when I eat it. raskin
Cotton Candy will always be
Cotton Candy will always be my favorite, even as an adult.
what's not to love
there was a point in my life when I looked at a big bunch of cotton candy and thought to myself I bet that would make a great wig, not a good idea. raskin
