    Hidden meanings are correct. I was drawn in by the title and as I read, I stopped and started it again. It takes you a minute or so to see the meanings. Good job. 5/5

    All I can do is laugh, lol. Oh youre such a clever lady.. I think many of us know theres a nice twist to this poem.. haha. I like when theres a twist in poems though, I must say I really enjoyed this because it stood out to me.. the title sounded so yummy, and as I read the poem I just knew there was a hidden meaning and maybe it wasnt really about real lollipops ;]

    Hahaa.
    Clever write.
    5/5.
