I
The container comes down
from the confectioners shelf and
each little drop of sweetness
spills into the bowl
II
Red and Yellow fancies
dusted with icing sugar
and as you open the bag
a blast of pear
III
Each Individually formed
rocky for a short while
but later smooth on the tongue
but watch for the sharp bits
IV
Thud of each drop
hitting the scale
rattle and then crunch
of the halves coming away
V
Sweet and Sour Sensations
tripping off the tongue
taking you back
to schoolday memories
