Love:
let me be
your candy
sweet fantasy
of reindeer snow
of red-nosed glow
from snowball throw
aimed happy crazy
on mouth soft and saucy
and your eyes that melt me
gleam a Southern summertime
of delicious crime
as time spins on a dime.
A recipe for Peanut Butter Snowballs (pictured above) is here. Of course the earliest reference to peanut butter can be traced back to the Aztecs who would not have been acquainted with snow. Written for dVerse’s Quadrille (44 words, “candy”).
Dreams from a Pilgrimage 
The candy looks so good. Appetizing shape poem and like the visual of time spinning on a dime.

I haven’t written one of those for a long, long time.

I love the Christmas tree-shaped poem, Dora, the Christmas theme and the way the rhymes echo in the lines:
‘of reindeer snow
of red-nosed glow
from snowball throw’.
