[hometext] => Couldn't sleep and I was eating a bag of jelly beans while listening to music. Tell me what you think.
[bodytext] => Music is a bag of jelly beans Not everyone loves them all And yet they are loved The black How dark and bitter they taste Like eating burnt popcorn And yet you must try them Just to see what it tasted like And yet what kind of bag would it be Without them, yes they are loved by some And hated by others but so are the rest The red So very red and so very juicy Every little bite holds oceans of juice Ready to wash your mouth with a wave of flavor Red might be too much at times when all you want is blue And yet what kind of bag would it be Without them, yes they are loved by some And hated by others but so are the rest The yellow Ahh the smooth taste of yellow But with in the smooth taste of yellow There in lies the prick of sour That makes you think you have Eaten a green so you are tricked Into eating more yellows And yet what kind of bag would it be With out them, yes they are loved by some And hated by others but so are the rest The orange The bite of the citrus That cuts into your taste buds With such force that it makes you jump For you might have eaten knives But the calm after taste says That you have been made a fool By the orange jelly bean And yet what kind of bag would it be Without them, yes they are loved by some And hated by others but so are the rest The purple The unexpected bite The flash of flavor Only to slowly Die away... ... You stand back as if you Have just seen a ghost As an aftertaste comes in late But of course it would With the sudden flash flood of taste To make you think again about Eating another of its friends And yet what kind of bag would it be Without them, yes they are loved by some And hated by others but so are the rest The green Comes in sneaky like As if to take you by surprise So you brace yourself But you still get knocked down By the sour assassin But when he leaves you feel Freshness as you breathe in As to say "Come back if you Want some more" And yet what kind of bag would it be Without them, yes they are loved by some And hated by others but so are the rest The White Much like eating wax But still I think that under The waxy cover lays a hidden secret And does my tongue lie to me NO there it is the sweet inside Of the mysterious white jelly bean And yet what kind of bag would it be Without them, yes they are loved by some And hated by others but so are the rest All the different colors of the jelly beans Are the different colors of music? So dark and unpleasant Others white and plain But still others are just As fruit full as the Jelly beans And yet what kind of world would it be Without the different colored songs Yes they are loved by some And hated by others but so are the rest And as for me Well I am just happy That I can enjoy them all [comments] => 4 [counter] => 356 [topic] => 60 [informant] => dalamar [notes] => Edited for spelling as requested. - Moderator_16 [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 5 [ratings] => 1 [editpoem] => 0 [associated] => [topicname] => insomniac )

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
