Nibble on the noose
tied around the cherry tree.
Boss’ taffy shoes
swinging.
Come into the candy house.
Shop subconscious memories.
Broken childhood crisps.
Stretched taffy fantasies.
Swirled senseless
Kaleidoscopic envy.
Heart and head combine in tempting
lolly.
Come into the candy house.
Behind chocolate bars
stuffed with horehound;
pass perversion ‘round.
Drip honey
on forbidden fruits.
Cliffside mansion, caramel
orgy.
Striped prisoner for the
jelly bean jollies.
The mind’s lust, a chewy
curiosity.
Come into the candy house.
Fudge it up on purpose.
Dirty gumdrop dealings.
Pull the brittle trigger.
Destroy the mind’s decency.

Today’s task: write a poem inspired by a book cover This book is next on my reading list. I’m as excited by it’s cover as I am by it’s premise, so I let the ideas swirl to create this verse.
The premise: In the future, subconscious memories can be reactivated, experienced, and shared.
