Cookie Jar

Memories from our past
has affected our present
and if we don't do something about it
it will affect our future
so I'm putting you in
the cookie jar

Every moment we shared,
every talk,
every text,
made me feel a part of you
so you're going in the cookie jar

I thought things would last
but you're just like a delicious cookie
waiting to be devoured
but you're just empty calories
going to my thighs

Oh little cookie jar
you kept everything
a little secret,
making sure I forget him
when I throw away the cookie jar

My friend wanted a twist on something and someone she loved.

A very silly poem (in a good way). I laughed all through it. I love your idea of putting away memries like putting things into a cookie jar. A good poem, i really like it. And if someone doesnt like this poem then i will hogtie them and throw them into the cookie jar only to be eaten later by a fat kid. XD

Brilliant! :) I'm sure different people will take this poem many different ways. Like, it brings me to memories of how id put notes or things I treasured Id hide them in a cookie jar.. which kind of suites this poem well. Also the fact that cookies are something we usually all want to indulge in :) so I liked seeing you referring to a man as a cookie. They can leave you wanting them in the middle of the night, but damn you don't want to clean the crumbs up. Oh, I need sleep this review is probably not going to seem that helpful.., but again great piece.

I really like this poem and it has a different kind of humor entwined in it. Throwing the cookie jar away can be a good thing some times. I have recently thrown away a cookie jar that I should have a long time ago. I will have to remember that and use it in the future.

Nice metaphor. "Effected" needs to be "affected." Just sayin'

"apart" to "a part". Very cute poem.
