Sweeter Than Candy
Your Love Causes Cavities
Like a good sip of ale on the back step,
or a cool wind that is out of the west.
A wish, left to mull-up, in my head,
of the many ways that you can vex.
*
Love, and the way that you show it,
soon puts a kick in my step.
The urge to be near you, can stir up a fire,
you zip and you zing with such pep.
*
A rare cate or a cake, that I yen for,
like kit-kat or bon bons to my lips.
I eat till I just can't take any more,
your mojo goes in a rush, to my hips.
*
You do that just to mess with me - don't you?
My gums ache with fire and ice.
All of the ways that you bait me and draw me to you,
if I die, even that will be nice.
*
My Dr. says that I need to quit this,
the old pop tart is bad for my cogs.
My fang also pays for the toll of your kiss,
I'll have to go back get'n a kiss from a frog.

Thoughts on Vocal and the way the world is
"Death cannot stop true love, only delay it." – Wesley in The Princess Bride. I decided to come back to Vocal on a very cold and dark night at the end of December. I had been, and still am, convalescing from a horrible staph infection that had gone misdiagnosed for months. This, paired with the increasing challenges of being healthy, making the best choices for my co-parented child, being a wife, and being a director at a new job, was a lot to manage.

Great challenge entry
Fantastic!!! Loved it!!!❤️❤️💕
Your rhyme scheme is excellent and your line breaks are well thought out. I like that you finish your complete thought in each line before breaking to the next line. That tells me that you put some thought into what you're doing.
Oh that was fantastic! I love how so much of it feels like it’s about a person but also about candy. That was a unique take and I really liked it!
You make this look easy, Kelli! 😍 Amazing poem!
This is eye poping poetry 🥳🍭🍫🍬
