Kiss and Tell

Kiss and Tell

 

I’m becoming picky

I’ve been there and done that

My patience is running low

It doesn’t take much to tick me off

 

I know what I like and what I don’t

You can do little things that make me want to blow up

You’re walking on eggshells around me

Walking on a river of ice

Not sure if your next step will cause you

To go under

 

It’s all new for you

You have a clean plate

But mine has bits and pieces of leftovers on it

And I don’t need anyone adding to it

 

Some say it’s better to be with someone who knows what they want

Someone with experience

But what if that experience caused you to have a short fuse

And not accept things one with less experience would normally accept

 

Some say it’s better to tell someone what’s on your mind

Tell them of their mistakes so they don’t repeat them

If I were to tell you of every single little thing you do that I don’t like

You wouldn’t be around anymore

 

I’m picky

I’m temperamental

I have mood swings

I’m impatient

But I’m honest

And if you’d ask me, I’d tell you

 

Notice it, and ask me

 

I’ll tell you  

Author's Note

I haven't been writing as often, maybe it's writers block, maybe it's a lack of inspiration, maybe it's just laziness.

I don't think everyone will understand this poem, I'd be shocked if more than 1 person does.

Notice 'it' = notice when I'm getting ticked off and slamming up my walls.

Enjoy

Wow quite a feisty tone you've set for this unique poem. I hope who's ever on the end of this emotional stick of dynamite is well prepared for a big blast due to a short tempermental fuse. haha Nice job. I get what your saying. :)

[Junert]

Maybe I don't get it from your point of view. But I do undastand it in own way, it kinda describes me.

[Dr. Wood ?]

i loved the reference to the empty and used plates....very clever stuff..i am sure you are not alone with this turmoil

[Hippy]

I kinda like it. like you paint pictures and set a mood, leave it vague setting a sense of mystery. so everything seems good. i like the plate full of leftovers, good metaphor.

[KAOlmsted]

Thank god! xD

Alright, you need to be picky in order to get what/who you want. But you cannot be silent and expect what you want to come knocking on your door. You know? Sometimes you have to fight for it, and he'll fight too.

Writing my dear is not a question of volume. some on here just act like production lines. poetry is about emotion and it's portrayal. In this you certainly do that in a piece that has a conversational quality to it.

Thank you for your review :)
