Haiku Friday: Forget The Diet

I can’t hide from it –
stalking me in every aisle
at the grocery

Halloween candy
of every kind calls with a
loud, sweet siren song

Sure, it’s for the kids
but who can resist bags of
mini Reese’s cups?

I love dressing up for Halloween, but I think I love the candy even more. It’s so unfair that grocery stores put up an entire aisle of Halloween candy (and displays at the end of every other aisle) at the beginning of October.

If I want any chance of not gaining 5 pounds this month, and want to actually give the candy I buy away to neighborhood kids, I’ll have to hold off on buying the jumbo bags of pixie sticks, fun-size Snickers and Sweet Tarts until two hours before trick-or-treat.

To play along for Haiku Friday, follow these steps:

1. Write your own haiku on your blog. You can do one or many, all following a theme or just random. What’s a haiku, you ask? Click here.

2. Sign the Mister Linky below with your name and the link to your haiku post (the specific post URL, not your main blog URL). DON’T sign unless you have a haiku this week. If you need help with this, please let me know.

3. Pick up a Haiku Friday button to display on the post or in your sidebar by clicking the button at the top.

REMEMBER: Do not post your link unless you have a haiku this week! I will delete any links without haiku!
