How Sweet It Is
Written for dVerse ~ Poet’s Pub: Who Has A Sweet~Tooth?
Our host Lillian asks us to write a poem using candy
names. This is my sweet~tooth inspired haibun.
CHEEKY BASTARD
You know how it is when you see a person or hear a name and it sort of rings a bell but it’s not in its usual context so you don’t make the connection?
Yeah, that’s what happened to me when I discovered Carlton’s Candy Coop – my favorite place for all my sweet-tooth cravings.
Chocolates, nougats, peanuts, caramels … all those mouth-watering, sugar-rushing, delectable tummy treats that stick to your teeth but you don’t care because they’re just too damn yummy!
Then it hit me. Carlton. Carlton? Carlton! But of course! Carl Carlton was my dentist!
Why, that cheeky bastard!
