Easter Candy… Poem by Theresa Ann Moore

Never buy Easter candy
Days before the designated date
Bags of sweets are too handy…
Lusciously tempting a salivating fate

Pastel egg shaped treats disappear
Marshmallow chicks vanish in a blink
Jellybeans evaporate as Easter nears
Chocolate bunnies become extinct

Baskets are filled with empty desire
Pleasurable expectations have fled
Another trip to the store is required
Before tears of disappointment are shed
