MY NAME IS CANDY CORN   Image #3
by Charlotte Dixon 
158 words


My name is Candy Corn. 
Some shout my name with scorn.


I’m orange, yellow and white. 
I shimmer under light.


I’m sweetly mouthwatering.
I’m simply mesmerizing.


A wizard glimpsed my shine. 
He declared, “You are mine!” 


We whirled inside a park. 
My brilliance caused a spark. 


I spun into a plant. 
He spoke a magic chant.


 My sugar turned to mist.
I rolled into a twist.


Something swallowed and squealed.
I breezed and wheeled and reeled.


I sprayed in spittle with dread.
Confused disorder spread.


Candy corn multiplied.
I curled around and cried.


Candy corn packed my place.
They shoved and claimed my space. 


They pranced and danced about.
I tried to slither out.


They multiplied too fast.
I spurted and spewed aghast.


The wizard spoke a chant.
I spun into a plant.


I found relief at dawn.
The madness forever gone.


My shine is back this morn.
I’m not going to mourn.


NO. ONES. EATING. CANDY. CORN!

STAY AWAY FROM CANDY CORN   Image #3
by Charlotte Dixon
171 words

I’ve got an aching head.   
I’m home and sick in bed.    


I celebrated at the park.    
I stayed there way past dark.    


I know I played a game,    
but not its silly name.     


A wizard raised his wand. 
It hovered by a frond.    
 
Out curled a purple wisp.     
It caused my tongue to lisp.        


My head felt round and strange.    
My eyes began to change.   


My teeth felt loose and dropped.   
They spurted in spittle and plopped.   


The wizard poked my cheek.      
I spewed and could not speak.    


My ailing tummy growled.   
A crowd of people howled.    


I ran for cover but fell.  
I could not break the spell.  


       They wolfed the goodies down, 
defied my scowling frown. 


They danced a jig till morn 
and gorged on candy corn.   


The wizard raised his wand.   
It hovered by a frond.  


The purple swirled up high.
I breathed a welcome sigh. 


Not sure how I got home, 
but I don’t plan to roam. 


I know one thing this morn, 
NO. EATING. CANDY. CORN.
