Candy Apples

















My appetite for candy apples
runs deep
always eaten
late in summer
a juicy mouth-watering treat.
The apples glimmer all red and syrupy
with a hint of cinnamon.

The taste of the apple is always a downer
it is never as yummy as it ought to be.
So difficult to eat
my teeth stick together
saliva drips from my lips to my chin.

I’ve never finished one
but every year you can count on me
to buy a candy apple at the county fair.
