I tear open the package of Twizzlers,
overpowered by your mouth-watering
whiff of wild cherry goodness.

I savor your scent,
never wanting
to let you fade.

I peel off a blood red vine
from a piece of licorice 
and place it in my mouth.

Instantly, I am overwhelmed with an extreme
cherry fusion. Heaven. I feel as if God
has already called me. Is this heaven?

I peel off another vine, then another,
savoring the sweet, cherry flavor
that explodes out of you.

Your delicious smell calls to me.

But, not all licorice is the same.

Nine, blood red vines,
I can either peel off your vines one by one,
or inhale you whole.

No other licorice compares
to your delicious burst of cherry flavor
that lathers in my mouth as I bite into
the soft, gummy, flesh of Cherry Twizzlers.

Twizzlers Cherry Licorice, you are the chewiest,
most flavorful, delicious candy,
making you the king of all candy.

I wrote this piece, inspired by my love of cherry licorice, hoping people would be inspired by this piece, to write their own odes of their favorite candy.
