2022 November PAD Chapbook Challenge: Day 2

For the 2022 November PAD Chapbook Challenge, poets are tasked with writing a poem a day in the month of November before assembling a chapbook manuscript in the month of December. Day 2 asks poets to get a little sweet.

Yay! You're back for day two. Let's keep poeming!

For today's prompt, write a sweet poem. Your poem could be about your favorite candy (still working my way through Halloween leftovers) or an exciting baked good. Of course, it could also involve something sweet that somebody did for another person. Or whatever other sweet thing you can imagine.

Remember: These prompts are springboards to creativity. Use them to expand your possibilities, not limit them.

“After the Last Treat”

He watched the children dissolve
into the evening shadows as his
daughter fell asleep on his chest.
