“Candy From Strangers”
Hello again, dear readers. Here’s another entry for Be Kind ReWrite’s Inspiration Monday, with the prompt candy from strangers.
I do hope you’ll all excuse me, but I did a little bit of experimenting with this entry. It is an Etheree of sorts (or at least some kind of imperfect imitation of it) — a poem of ten lines, which begins with one syllable and increases by one syllable each line. I then finished the work with a haiku. Please enjoy, and as usual, thoughts and comments are muchly appreciated.
Candy from Strangers
I
enjoy
talking to
people on the
street—the ones I don’t
know; those who don’t know me.
These people are ignorant.
They offer kindness, even to
those who don’t deserve it. I take that
kindness and steal it away, mine to keep.
pieces of candy
sweetly, innocently dropped
from a stranger’s lips

Cool. I like it. Good flow.
Thank you.
