Emotion Eggs (hour 21)

In a clear, small caddy

emotion eggs they sit

each one makes the eater feel

the feeling face on it.

 

Should I choose the first one,

frazzled, scrambled in both ends

second, worried, like I get

when itchy rash won’t mend.

 

Third, I like the very most

happy, sun side up

next one, scared eyes wide

must be jalapeños inside

I dare not touch that pup.

 

The back row, I can imagine now

sad, shocked and sick, and how

that one’s uncooked, and pallid

will never in mouth be swallowed.

 

The very last emotion, angering

this one’s blown out, yolk strings dangling

need this one when phone is ringing

unknown call, confront some spamming.

 

I’d love to share emotion eggs

they may just come in handy

love and peace omelettes I give the world

‘til together it’s just dandy.

    1. Thanks so much. Love and peace omelettes should be a thing- mine would be veggie omelettes sans peppers. I find peppers combustible, probably the opposite and full of hate and war. I appreciate your brilliant poet comment- that’s one I’ve never been dubbed before. 😃
