She Shared with me Her Lemon Drops

A candy rhyme

She Shared with me her lemon drops 
 

It was such a sour delight those things they called Lemon drops But they were a nice treat between her and I She was a sweet surprise  Lemon Drops was all she bought At the 5 & dime candy store for it was 50 years ago When we first fell in love Lemon Drops too remind us If things ever when sour between us We could stand the test of time Or we could type out another thyme For at our local 5 & Dime Lemon Drops was our sweet treat Sour to the taste But yummy to the tummy.

This is one of the best love poems I've read in awhile mainly becuz of the affectionate playfulness & childlike innocence that can be felt thru-out. I love this line: "if things ever go sour between us" (you might want to change "when" in that line, tho). Sorry to be picky, but it's customary to write out numbers & symbols (ex: "five and dime") . . . but not everyone wants to be bound by rules! Hopefully we can make a new (more even-paced) start here at the Café . . . Fondly, Margie
