Comparing this delicious confection to human emotions - a prose poem. |
The sweet, crunchy, toffee candy That contains numerous, randomly scattered peanuts – Peanut brittle – Exemplifies the sumptuous joys Of an emotional, sought-after, and immensely popular Human being, ideally reactive and responsive To life’s ups and downs. This delicious treat is tastefully created And somewhat decadent in its flavor and crunch, Much like a highly emotional woman or man, Enjoyably friendly and agreeable, Expressing the positive and negative In sweetly-textured, personal words! But none of the candy’s richness and flavor Can be hidden, And like a person who cannot escape Their emotive, spiritual, And chaotic reactions, Can be acknowledged as weaker In larger, less exquisite amounts… The opposite of emotion, Logic, never ruined a productive, effective system Of any kind, And like common sense, Can make a world of convictions, Passion and purpose radiate! So isn’t it time to put away the box Of this sumptuous confection, And continue sailing the much less maligned ship To its natural, safe, and historic harbor? Only if one were not to believe so much In crying… |
