KIT KAT KLUB HEADLINERS TONIGHT
Mr. Goodbar and the Red Hots
jazz like you’ve never heard it before!
The Sugar Babies, Twizzlers and Sweetarts
let your imaginations think about that!
Mike & Ike serving the best hootch in town
great way to cap your payday!
Leave the Missus at home or bring her along
she’ll enjoy the Big Hunk struttin’ his stuff!
A bit-o-honey for everyone
AT THE KIT KAT, WE NEVER DISAPPOINT!
It’s Tuesday Poetics at dVerse, the virtual pub for poets around the globe. Today, I’m hosting and having a bit of fun with the prompt. I’ve listed names of twenty-seven candy bars and asked folks to create a poem that includes at least one of them in their poem. They’re free to include more than one from the list if they choose. If they select a candy with the word “bar” or “bars” in it, IE Oh Henry Bars, they can drop the word “bars/bar” — however, except for dropping that word, they must include the name of the candy exactly as it’s named in the prompt…no words in between etc. Can you find the candy bars I’ve included?
Image created on Bing Create. Candies I’ve included: Kit Kat, Mr. Goodbar, Red Hots, Sugar Babies, Twizzlers, Sweetarts, Mike & Ike, Payday, Big Hunk Bars, Bit-O-Honey

That’s a fun poem, LIll! I know that the Kit Kat Club was famous in Berlin, and I remember the film ‘Looking for Mr Goodbar’, so much of your poem was familiar to me, and I really enjoyed the pace and upbeat rhythm.

Exactly! 🙂 But even though you’ve consumed 10 candy bars in the reading, you’ve gained NO calories! 🙂

Yep! I changed the spelling of Club to Klub to not infringe on the original Kit Kat Club in that great musical!

I remember when I first saw the movie, but the theater version is so much darker.

Oh so clever Lillian! It was wonderful. I love all the references, particularly Sugar Babies. It reminded me of the Langston Hughes poem Harlem Sweeties where he referenced all kinds of ‘sweet’ descriptions of women in his world. ☺️💕

Thank you so much, Christine. I love Langston Hughes’ work….I taught quite a bit of his poetry to my high school class many many many years ago!

I think I remember you saying that some time ago. I am a big fan of his poetry too. His words could touch all the senses ❤️☺️

Glad you enjoyed, Helen. PS: I truly wish there was some way you could read your candy poem aloud, with the music in the background, and in the same outfit, for our next OLN LIVE. Think about it!
