I Write Poetry

Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, as told in Haiku
written in late April, 2014

The Candy Man

Willy Wonka and
the Chocolate Factory
Five Golden Tickets

The First Golden Ticket

Augustus Gloop drinks
from the river wide and deep
Death by chocolate

The Second Golden Ticket

Veruca Salt screams
"I want it! I want it NOW!"
She was a bad egg.

The Third Golden Ticket

Willy Wonka says
I, Violet Beauregarde,
am a blueberry.

The Fourth Golden Ticket

Mike Teavee must watch
Wonkavision will make him
small of mind and form

The Fifth Golden Ticket

Gobstopper returned
Charlie Bucket, Grandpa Joe
You did it-- you've won!
