Pop Rocks
February 14, 2022
Pop Rocks dance in my mouth,
popping and fizzing
sending tingle-tangling
sugar drops to my
white glass teeth
Sweet like young love,
the reds and pinks
of Valentines day gifts,
little fireworks dissolve
on my tongue.
Crystals of red cherry
resemble ruby gems,
before sticking to my
stained lips.
Nectarous and new,
each whiz and fizz
sends electric waves
of flavor and sensation.
The crack and snap
of garnet gleaming joy
is my beloved
candy crystalline confection.
