#FOWC #Double
a sweet tasting response from inky to fandango’s latest one word challenge
Not your normal after dinner treat
it’s got two of everything, vanilla scoops, chocolate scoops, brownies, the lot
covered in drizzles of sweet chocolate syrup
even the wafer’s got a dash of cocoa running through it
pudding – a nice light one after that large dinner
unless you really fancy jam roly poly, swimming in custard
decisions , decisions

funny what I can come up with, when I’m peckish
Sandwiched together
hot off the confectioners table
oblong biscuits of loveliness
rippled with caramel and chocolate
taken usually with a nice cup of tea
crafted by an artisan
and served up as part of an afternoon lunch
keeping watch, children with a sweet tooth
expecting a piece of this dessert after the sandwiches
#Christmas #Hidden #Sweets
7th January 2019
I received an extra present yesterday.
I’d been wandering what dad was going on about when he mentioned an extra present at the end of Christmas time
I’d enjoyed seeing the brightly coloured baubles on the Christmas tree, especially the new larger ones. They were twinkly inside. I just guessed they were part of the decoration
Time came and each of the baubles came off the branches of the tree
and Dad told me of his secret….The twinkly baubles actually contained SWEETS. The foil wrapping reflected the lights off the tree
and in one of the big round baubles , all coloured red was my special surprise – a bag of vanilla fudge.
Stop press….it’s not just my dear old dad hiding stuff in baubles. My provider of hot chocolate has been at it too…delivered on 7th January. so now there’s another metal bauble for the Christmas tree.
ferried by box or by bag
Usually on birthdays
Delightful cubes of butter sugar and cream
Get sent to the house
Easily a delightful treat
Fairs at Christmas time
usually have stalls selling this
delicious treat, and it’s not just cubes
great shapes are made using cutters
expect strawberry hearts, mint chocolate rounds and raspberry diamonds

That Tin box in the Christmas bag hides something
Really sweet and tasty
Everyone knows its something special
As you don’t have it to excess
Thing is – you can have some every day – after you’ve eaten your dinner
Served up in a glass bowl
Wonderful fruit combines with frosty ice cream
Everyone smiling as the bananas are
Enveloped by the Ice cold tastes of strawberry and chocolate and cream
Together – as they melt and mingle – they make a heavenly delight
as the sun says peek a boo
over multi coloured high rises
for an hour or two
Skies turn into confectioners delights
as cotton candy clouds turn from white to blue
with occasional shades of pink or yellow
Another cloud poem
#CFFC #LetterL #Lollipop
Lieutenant (or inspector ?) sits on the corner
of Trafford and Regent Road
looking out for
local hoods
its possible – he could have had a sugar rush
playing around with his favourite sweet
on occasion making eyes with the
popular girls walking by – “who loves ya baby?”
#Colouryourworld #Cyw #Pinksherbet
Sweet to me that’s what you are
Hot pink sugar fizzing on the tongue
Every girls favourite candy
Running riot at the school hall hop
Boys cant wait for the chance to
Entertain you on the dance hall floor
To grab a taste of your kisses

a sweet poem for the color your world challenge by inkdropk
#poetry #confectionery #cyw #coloryourworld #cottoncandy #candyfloss
whispy wires of candy
softly rising into a soft tornado
gathering in pace as it goes
sensational sugar collides
against the tornado catcher
fallen to be reused again
whisps gather pace
collecting speed and sugar
as a sweet cirrus begins to grow
floating sweet dreams
fly high in the air
caught by the ice cream man
man looking in has to use great skill
to gather the coloured pink cloud
to create smiles on waiting faces
