This piece was simply inspired by a friend who challenged me to write a poem about sugar cubes when the Magic Roundabout film came out. I told him not to be so soft at the time but that night, I couldn't sleep at all for sugar cubes dancing around in my mind! Eventually, I gave up, switched on the lamp and grabbed a pen.

I know a song thatıll get on your nerves.......
                       Joe Pasquale

In a dark and silent room, the family's asleep,
words are flirting with the mind, a thousand kisses deep.


This poem wants to  be a sugar cube
blocked,   rigid,   ornamental    words
constructed perfection in 3-D  glitter,
crystalline text lined up row upon row.

This poem wants to roll around your mouth,
                   - linger awhile -
              (a lifetime on the hips)
                                               and vanish on your lips.

I really liked "In a dark and silent room, the family's asleep, 
words are flirting with the mind, a thousand kisses deep." 
I thought that line was beautifully written.
