Fun! I admire your capacity to write in such a minimal space and yet with such an array of tones! I am still struggling with my overwordiness!!! Best to you, Sue!

A SHARD OF BUBBLEGUM IN COTTON CANDY
By Einar, linking to "Shard" of Sue Chenette after JD's "Pertinacious

Sweet Grace of Deep Magic,
Answer for me this 64 gumdrop question.
How … How … How can Mars, make so a good a candy bars?

Bubblegum.

Sweet Grace whose smile's found in stars
Find I your thoughts on candy hearts?
Or is your solace space apart?
Sweet Grace of Deep Magic

Upon the moon I gazed this night
Sensed your light within my light
Sweet Grace of Deep Magic

Sweet Grace to see within my soul
I look to you and then I know
Reflected in the light of night
I find myself within your sight
Sweet Grace of Deep Magic

Those men from Mars
To make those bars
As sweet as little girls are
Take from the light of a wishing star
The scent of Venus

The sticky stuff of life we are
Your thoughts to mine entwined and bright
Breath in the sweetness of the night
And stay with me till morning.

Bubblegum.
