I’ve been very quiet recently but I’m hoping my creative writing is beginning to flow again. These are the result of last night’s Igniting the Spark session. The theme was sugar. The poems are just for fun and are far from finished but I hope you still enjoy them.

he sugar coated the soot
that dropped on him accidently
by telling everyone it was black pearls
falling from the night sky
———
she imagined the dandruff
running through her hair
was streams of sugar
and smiled as she
tasted this strange white
substance on her tongue
———
the sugary smell of engine oil
made the hairs in his nose
stand to attention
as each end sought out
more of the sweetness
that drifted into the ether
from this thick, sticky
substance used to smooth
the passage of grinding pistons
rocketing crankshafts
and tappets dipping away
for him though
it was not enough and he felt
the impulsive, compulsive need
to pour barrels of oil
into his favourite sugar bowl
close his eyes
suck the scent up his nose
his brain eager to receive
sweet, sugar signals
and send him off to dream
of being immersed
in a vat of sweet, sugary oil
feeling it fill every pore
on his sugar coated body
with thick, luscious gooeyness
sending shivers of ecstasy all over him
as he wallows like a hippo
in this temple of oily splendour
