Day 13 #napowrimo - day 7 #the100dayproject - Thief

For day 13 of #napowrimo the prompt was to write a poem about a time you stole something and got away with it...

Thief

Sorry is a heavy word for that red gummy bear

I stole from the bulk candy store container.

It was so easy to slip my four year old hand

into the box and pop it into my mouth.

I remember the bounce of the bear,

my teeth like its trampoline; how it

slipped and slicked its way around my tongue.

Sweet ruby of bear flesh; I savored it more

knowing that I got away with theft.
