For all the poems in this Two Sylvias Press Advent Calendar challenge, visit my musings here.
Prologue: This is a 31 day event that helps poets and authors all over to pen down 31 new poems in the month of December (2025). Every day we can open the calendar for that day to read about the prompt for that day. Then let your imagination fly to infinity with your thoughts and voice.
Note: I am starting late so might post my poems more than one a day. 🙂
For Day 16 the prompt given to us was to write a poem on a candy or flower that one likes most. Exaggerate it very much. If you are feeling rebellious write about your least favorite candy or flower and exaggerate them. Here is my take.
