Abstract

The website content presents a poetic piece titled "My K.I.S.S" by Geetika Sethi, which is a response to the GiaB (Genius in a Bottle) prompt #1: Confectionery.

The poem is a celebration of sweetness, acknowledging Victor Sarkin for the challenge and Ivette Cruz for the invitation to participate. It concludes with Sethi calling upon fellow writers to share their own sweet creations and expresses a wish for happiness.

My K.I.S.S

When my kingdom is sweetly surprised

My kingdom is cold, not warm to be sold, as its stories are told, when wrappers unfold.

Nut -fruits compressed all waiting undressed, to be dipped into the plate, full of melted chocolate.

They dried up very fast… now are packed to last, oh! so sweet they taste, wanna eat them in haste.

The little choco nibbles, soft, chew or crunchy, sure make a great treat, My K.I.S.S–sweet n complete.

Thanks to Victor Sarkin for creating this lovely challenge

and to Ivette Cruz for inviting me to take part in it through your turn.

I now call upon Gurpreet Dhariwal, Manasi, Desiree Driesenaar, Dennett, Saanya Khunger, Navya Gupta, Esat Artug , Arjan, Brett Christensen, and Christina M. Ward to show me all your sweetness this weekend.

Wishing you all a Happy One!
