Author's Note: My friend Alli Quartaroli and I were at our soccer game and we were talking about this one evil girl on the Kettle Moraine team named Julia, and we got to some weird topics. One of these sayings to go with the topic was "Eat my gummy worms!!!" The next day, she brought me gummy worms, and this poem was one of the things that came to mind when I said that line with her.
Sour gummy worms--
So sweet
But yet each little sprinkle of the dust
Makes it sour enough
For a weak person like me
To think that these are sour
But delicious to eat.
So much better than normal ones--
Those are just too plain and
Not Enough
To satisfy one's craving
Of something sour
Like some sour Skittles
Or like a sour gummy worm.
Other candy doesn't have the same excitement to me--
When I taste the sourness
Of each individual sour gummy worm,
There is a different feeling each time.
But when I eat a Laffy Taffy
Or something else
I get disappointed because
It is not a sour gummy worm.
Sour gummy worms are amazing--
Now whenever I think of
Eating a sour gummy worm,
Some things come to mind.
Everything from feeding the crave
To "EAT MY GUMMY WORMS!"
Haha that was hilarious!! And that girl was super annoying. Anyway I thought that this was really cool. I liked how you compared gummy worms to a bunch of different things. Nice job!!
ReplyDeleteI dislike that girl very much. But I really liked that poem. I liked how you summarized what you were going to say in each stanza right before it started. Nice job Allison, way to make me want some sour gummy worms.
ReplyDeleteYea, gummi worms are special. Don't skittles make your mouth kind gritty? But Gummi worms don't. They're like magic or something. That's a good saying by the way. "Eat my gummi worms" I must use it someday..or not.
