Candy Corn Poems
Here are some cute poems for introducing candy corn to trick-or-treaters or as part of a lesson plan for teachers or home schooling.
Pumpkin Poop
Use candy corn, and put them into a little plastic or real pumpkin and tie the poem to it.
I started to carve a pumpkin
With my carving knife and scoop.
But the pumpkin got so scared
He took a little poop.
It looked so cute and funny
Just like a candy treat.
So I'm sharing it with you now
Because you're so sweet.
Candy Corn Poem
Put candy corn in a mug or Halloween bag or box and attach this poem:
Halloween is almost here
goblins and ghosts, oh the fear!
Pumpkins, black cats and witches too,
Bobbing for apples and witches brew.
So jump for joy and sound the horn,
relax and have some candy corn!

Corn : Poems by James Stevenson. The School Library
Journal says: "Grade 2-6-Like the sweet candy corn people nibble every
autumn, these poems are delectable tidbits that tickle the taste buds.
Stevenson's third collection of poignant, brief poems is both satisfying and
illuminating. Once again, layout, text, color, line, and verse combine to
produce a delightful array of treats. The 24 poems offer a new view of such
diverse topics as peanuts, frogs, dumpsters, and dawn. Who but this master of
succinct wordplay and pictures could see candy corn as dragon's teeth, imagine
school buses chatting at the end of the day, or find 11 ways to express bird
noises? Each selection is exquisitely illustrated in pastel watercolor and
black ink; colored pages add interest to several verses and tinted ink
highlights others. This gem belongs in every library.
