Array ( [sid] => 123514 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => A Kinder Surprise [time] => 2006-07-21 21:48:51 [hometext] => Narcissistic, I know. The definition's probably only going to be around on this site. [bodytext] => ---Placebo:
Two empty halves trying to form a whole
Like milk chocolate-y hemispheres trying to convince
Themselves they’ve a shiny, special toy inside

(After all, it’s not a lie unless you don’t believe it)

Hoping to rattle, or at least feel hefty, valuable
Not just sweet on the outside, (and maybe not even that, sometimes)
Not just a few different-colored layers
Crafted securely around a whole lot of nothing

Even if you fell faster, you never fell apart

Because then, maybe, you wouldn’t be so scared of other people
[letting go]
Because all they knew about was the shiny tin-foil wrapper
And not the fragile heart inside.

Kinder Surprise (n. proper) –
“Chocolate, chocolate, and then a toy!
Sweets for girls and fun for boys!
Milk and mint and hidden joy,
Hold it, eat it, Surprise ahoy!”

*Not to be held for extended durations, susceptible to melting and eventual deformation. Avoid dropping, striking, or holding tightly to prevent damage before use. Should any product be empty, please notify the retail store from which it was purchased and a replacement will be mailed shortly. Ferrero SkA® does not accept cracked, ‘missing,’ or melted exteriors as valid complaints.

Love your style, This is great.

While every care is taken to ensure the general sites content is family safe, our moderators cannot be in all places; all the time. Please report poetry and or comments that are in breach of our site rules HERE (Please include poem title or url). Parents also please ensure that you supervise your children well when they are on the internet; regardless of what a site says about being, or being considered, child-safe.

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. Â©
