Poem:
Stolen Emotion
Stolen Emotion
What have you done to me?
A black cloud of betrayal as affections vanish.
Once we savored bliss,
Glad-hearted and childlike,
But your heart perished.
A sickening fever of darkness -
Tears follow love, follow hate,
Love spoiled.
In a torrent of bitterness,
I reject you.
Food Item:
Because Paradox of Poison was the theme for our party, I brought in cookies shaped like candy corn to represent a paradoxical item. Candy corn by itself is already somewhat of a paradox, blending the shape of healthy corn kernels and the sugary taste of candy. To make the cookies, I put together yellow and orange cookie dough and then cut the dough into triangular shapes. By making Candy Corn Cookies stacked together to resemble kernels on a corn cob, I tried to emphasize the strange mixture of healthy and unhealthy that candy corn suggests. I also added a secret ingredient to the cookies: carrot bits. Since the sugary aspect of the dish overpowered the nutritious aspect, I felt that carrots were necessary to further highlight the paradox between healthy and unhealthy.
The carrots themselves contributed to the cookies by providing a little more chewiness to an otherwise crunchy dish.
A black cloud of betrayal as affections vanish.
Once we savored bliss,
Glad-hearted and childlike,
But your heart perished.
A sickening fever of darkness -
Tears follow love, follow hate,
Love spoiled.
In a torrent of bitterness,
I reject you.
