Hello!
Today's poetry prompt is to personify food. While I did consider writing about cheesecake (it's against my morals) I then remembered that I've written poems about jelly beans for previous years so I decided to write about jelly beans again. Enjoy!
The Jelly Beans
Watermelon and peach are the best of friends
The perfect pair
The citrus gang is always around
Orange, lemon, lime, just standing around
Trying to look cool
It's grapefruit that's the trouble maker
Tutti-fruity and berry blue always the social butterflies
Flitting around, always able to be a part of any group
The pink ladies, everyone's favourite
Cherry and strawberry are so kind
Such pretty girls with sweet smiles
But bubble gum is the real leader of the group
Pear, the ugly outcast, the loner
No one likes pear
Some find him disgusting
You can see him there, watching the others
Black licorice sometimes spends time with him
Grape is always following the others
Wanting to be one of the cool kids
Wanting to fit in, to be liked
Maybe one day they will be
There's the group of the off ones
Marshmallow, the hopeless romantic
Always looking for their soulmates
Cinnamon, she's got attitude
But she's sweet so many like her
Popcorn is quirky and unique
Always talking, always has a story to share
You wouldn't expect them to be friends
But they always like to hangout
As the jelly beans gather, you never know what will happen next.
Thanks for reading!
