Poem for Cookie Monster

And it was on that day … happiness arrived

In a small bite-sized treat, I don't know how

To explain it, perhaps a gift from God,

It wasn't like anything I've tried or something I've seen,

No it wasn't carrots, not cucumbers, nor peas,

But in that moment I was hooked,

Like a fish caught and gutted,

I could not stray,

Addiction too over me,

No hope of return,

Before I was without a soul

And then it touched me.

I don't know what to say, my mouth

Is full

Of Heaven

My eyes were blind but now they are open wide,

A new world in sight,

Never to leave again,

Tasting

That fire as I took my first bite,

The start of an addiction,

So good

Yet so bad

Of someone who knows nothing,

I suddenly tasted

The cookie

On my tongue,

Cracking, crumbling

With each crunch,

Riddled

With multiple flavours,

Recipes from all over the universe.

And suddenly I am

Drunk off

The sugars of life,

Each bite a

Mystery,

Felt myself a pure part

Of the world,

Now I feel a sense of belonging,

Trying cookies of every sort.
