Scrolling Boxes

My favourite Poem


How lovely to see a lemon drop moon,
adoring a blueberry sky in June.

Mountains of chocolate all dusted in white,
pure sugar icing, thus making them bright.

Liquorice logs are the bark of the trees,
angelica leaves sway in the breeze.

Peppermint pebbles, a marshmallow shore,
sherbet fountains and love hearts galore.

A cream soda lake and cranberry falls,
little fudge houses with nut toffee walls.

Lollipop lampposts in soft treacle soil,
sprinkled crushed peanuts, a sidewalk with style.

Imagine the fun to visit this land,
Confectionary Island - well - it sounds grand.
