Candy corn, candy corn,
sitting on the wall
Dangling his legs,
so he won’t fall.
Will he fall apart
Or land on his feet?
Will his fall be messy,
Or will it be neat?
He jumps off the wall,
Landing on his rump
Bouncing from room to room
Thumpity thump thump.
Bringing joy to kids of all ages
As he inspires me
To put words on pages.
Setting my creative spirit free!
This poem was inspired by a candy corn stuffy I was taught to make in my ACB crafters crochet class, and my discussion with my fellow writing warriors for jesus in our boot camp this morning.
Such emotion and depth in simple words.
Thank you. It was inspired by a candy corn stuffy then I made in crochet class. The poem inspired a children’s book I’m writing.
