Gumdrop World

Mike Williams

It's a gumdrop world filled with candied rainbowed skies,
Lollipop laughter and chocolate kisses.
Cotton candy floss clouds and sugar crusted cherry surprise,
Butterscotch dreams and syrup-filled wishes.

Painted marzipan flowers and salt water taffy trees,
Penut brittle houses and candy cane lanes.
How happy the gumdrop world of childhood can be,
Plum pudding playful and toffee cake games.

Mike Williams

I am a painter, poet, and writer from Texas. I have a large volume of poetry, which I hope to publish in an anthology. I am best known for my poem 'Extrairdinary Mind'. I am also working on several novels and short stories at the moment. I write a wide variety of genres. I also draw, paint fresco, oils, and mixed media. My most famous piece is 'Psychedelic Cows', which placed 1st at the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo. It became the inspiration for the sculptures that followed. You can follow my platform on Pinterest. more…
