Lillian here, happy to be tending the pub for Tuesday Poetics! Today, I thought it was time for a sweet-a-licious prompt!!! Don’t know about you, but I literally cannot have sweets in the house. If I do, I gobble them all down in a day or two. Yup – I admit to having a sweet tooth. So – I thought, why not share a bit of my personality with you dVersers??? Let’s have some fun with sweets!!

Today, I’d like you to create a poem using any one or more of the names of the candies listed below. You cannot change the name itself or the order of the words in the name or add any words between the words in the name….but, if there’s the word “bars” at the end of the name, you can feel free to eliminate the word “bars”. So for example, if you choose to use Milky Way Bars in your poem, feel free to just use the words “milky way”. They do have to be in that order though…no words between “milky” and “way”. Mr. Goodbar must be used as is. So here is the extensive list you can choose from (and yes, they are all bonafide real candies!)


Bit-O-Honey                                              Red Hots
Chuckles                                                    Good & Plenty
Big Hunk Bars                                           Lifesavers
Snickers                                                     Butterfinger
Kit Kat                                                        Mild Duds
Pay Day                                                     Oh Henry Bars
Skittles                                                      Mike & Ike
Dots                                                          Starburst
Twix                                                           Razzles
Three Musketeers                                   Sweetarts
Charleston Chew                                    Mr. Goodbar*
Whoppers                                                 Twizzlers
Sugar Babies                                             Tootsie Rolls
Milky Way Bars                                         Watchamacallit Bars

Have fun with this one. The good news is, unlike eating any of these candies, your poems won’t have any calories!!

New to dVerse?  Need to be refreshed on the rules? Here’s what to do:

  • Write a poem that includes at least one of the names of a candy listed above. You can delete the word “bars” from the candy name, but you can not change the order of the words in the name or add any words between the words in the name.  
  • Post the poem to your blog AND add the exact URL for your poem to Mr. Linky below.
  • REMEMBER to either TAG dVerse in your post, or include a link at the end of your poem that leads readers back to dVerse (https://dversepoets.com). 
  • If you do not TAG or include a link to dVerse at the end of your post, I will gently remind you to do so. After all, this will increase your readership and comments, and others will find dVerse and hopefully join in the fun. If you do not add the TAG or link after my reminder, I will remove your post from Mr. Linky. I do not want to do that! So please do include the TAG or link!
