Cotton Candy (new Poetry)

Ron Koppelberger

Cotton Candy

Sweet dander and glowing roses

Of fine-spun sugar, a delectable savor

Of necessity and unbroken youth, the tears of tolerable

Desire allayed and comforted by

The nectar and web of cotton confection,

By the promise of dreams and candy wishes, by the

Tangle of warm treasures in wanton tastes of

                                                                              Cotton candy.
