Unique Contest for Fun-Loving Writers!

In this contest, I would like you to write a poem about your favorite candy! It can be in any form you want. (I would laugh if someone made a sonnet. Me laughing is good!) I would appreciate if you could make your poem funny. If you need inspiration on making a candy poem, here's a link to one of mine: http://allpoetry.com/poem/2884958 (I hope the link works!) Show me passion! Show me guilt! Whatever works for you!

I forgot to introduce to you who is helping to judge this contest. (Sorry Zeph) In real life, Zeph is my twin! We think alike, for the most part, except Zeph is more 'down to earth' and I'm more...floaty? Yeah, I think that's the right word. 'Specially in allergy season!

Now for the rules!
1.NoNe Of ThIs-It JuSt BuGs!
2.no swearing or erotica...how would that fit into this contest anyways!
3.Check your spelling. If I notice any errors, I will message you. If they aren't fixed by judging time, I will consider consequences!
4.Comment on at least one other poem. It is a nice jester, which makes many people happy!
5.Write I Love Reeses Pieces in your author box to show me you read ALL the rules!
6.Have fun and stay cool!

    Darn - I have two pre-writes that would have fit perfectly. Oh well.

    Great idea - it's nice to write and read about happy things

    It is a song. I parodied Slipknot's "Duality," hence part of the title as "Ripoff"

    Typos are changed and thanks for the comment!!!
