Dear Circus Peanut,

You are my favorite candy 

Not Hershey's, Not Almond Joys,

Not Reese’s, Not Paydays, 

but you. You of all candies are my favorite.

 The first time I  took a bite into your orange goodness 

that fell apart in my mouth like kinetic sand, I fell in love. 

People say you can't taste color but to me, you are the 

immaculate taste of orange. your explosion of flavor makes me feel

ironically like I'm at the best circus ever. 

You're like a soft summer melting away in my mouth.  

Your the sunlight brightly shining on me as I wake 

from a cold sleep, to indulge me in your warm embrace.

You make me crave more and more until

BOOM! 

The bag is empty you're so hard to find 

I'd search the world just to taste you again, I’d go mad trying to find you 

Willy Wonka himself couldn't keep me from finding you

You're my fantasy 

You're what I crave until I take my dying breath 

I want you to be buried with me in my coffin 

You like packing peanuts and me like the fragile item 

that needs your protection

 I hope this letter reaches you I miss you

 I look forward to the day I meet your lovely gaze again.  

                              Sincerely 

                   -jedidiah

what inspired me to make this piece is that my friends all hate my favorite candy so i wanted to make a poem on how delicious they are
