Making Candy

I see the candy first
And seeing it is blue
And pink, and red and green
I am offended by 
The sweets. I say, "I can
"Make candy just as sweet."

So I do, and seeing
The inlays of the strings
Of hardening sugars
And the filling of true
To form flavors, drawing
Out the long sugar strands
In their colorful dough...
I then see the process
For my self, and respect
It---But, I like cooking
My roasts, cauliflower 
Heads and risotto filled
With wine, cheese and creamy
Lathers of tradition.
