Glitter Pancakes
11.14.2022
Rock paper fantasy
and gold glitter pancakes
Silver star streamers scattered over
boiled butter evening
Snorting up a pumpkin festival
of lights and macabre cupcake
destruction
by panda-eared children
Dancing with sugar-powered feet
and gelatin rubber legs
Cobbled ground cotton candy
following sticky-handed messes
Pop rock crackles
between grinning milky whites
Frosting-tipped fingers dip hungrily
for gummy-bellied sharks
Spinning up sensation
of jump rope candy bars
and swing set melodies
across chipped tooth playgrounds
Where lava monsters lurk
and Pegasus wings slip
over silver slides
Chubby chuckled dimple grins
brighten rubber ducky puddles
Splashing brightly colored memories
into chalkboard sidewalks
where crayons melt
into Mona Lisa murals
