skittles (Free verse) by Freethinker1602
you found a fun size bag of skittles
or maybe it seems to have found you
it was laying there, the colors still bright
the wrapper crinkled and the edges torn
though the packaging was damaged
you opened the small bag for a closer look
the goods inside were intact
the colors so bright and vivid
the little pieces looked so yummy
they rattle happily in the bag
their joyful sounds beckoning
âeat some, we taste so fruity and sweet.â
You can't resist, you reach your fingers in
they feel pleasant and smooth between your fingers
you raise one to your lips
At first there is a rush while it crunches in your mouth
then it gets fun and chewy
the sweetness stinging slightly
causing a tightness in your throat
their color, aroma, taste and texture
so addicting
you can't stop, candy after candy
you have consumed the skittles
in their entirety
the bag is empty, a husk of pleasure
now, the skittles are a part of you
and you place the bag in your breast pocket
to protect the integrity and concept of their goodness
