Peppermint Clouds

By Morgan Hannah, Life & Style Editor

I think I made it all up inside my mind—

Staring into the sky

A red, twisty peppermint candy falls into my eye

It has the texture of an orange rind—

All tucked away in my head

Look too closely and you could go blind—

Profuse, wet triangles edging my eyes

Like a black halo

Full cloud cries

Peppermint candies fall and they flow

This little world of mine, where my imagination is fed
