Journey

Candyland

Have you heard of "Candyland?"

You think this is just in fiction,

But this is really Candyland

In your very own eyes.

Haven for the sweethtooths

And heaven for the candy lovers,

This place has assortments of treats

Beyond your wildest dreams.

Can you imagine

How much fun

If we skate on the ice cream rinks

And sunbathe on the sugary beaches?

Oh it's fun, very fun.

Can you ponder

How fantastic

If we jump on cotton candy clouds

And climb on candy cane trees?

Oh it's fantastic, very fantastic.

But I have something to say

About this sugarcoated place.

This is actually hell for me

Because I'm sick of honeyed words.

This is truly inferno for me

Because I'm sick of sweet lies.

My eyes are exhausted

And long for something salty.

My tongue is tired of this

And wants to taste the truth.

I'm sick of this land

Because the truth is bitter.

A/N: Have you guys play the game "Candyland" before? If you haven't play this yet, this is a board racing game that has a theme of candies. This is actually my inspiration to write this poem.

Well, at a meantime, I also read some poems from Bittersweet by DannyCepul. The book itself is revolving around food. I think this book is very fascinating and compelling. I'll recommend you to read his poems.

I also have a prompt for you all. It's all about sweets. This is not a competition, but just a challenge.
