This is a remarkable tiny droplet of an idea that paints a huge portrait in my mind . . . how the icy mountaintops cause granite outcrops to flake off like onion . . . swirling with the idea of how layers of an onion being hardened into rigor-mortis could resemble a poet with writer's block trying to chisel off a few lonely words (is that what you're doing here? *wink! wink!*) Love it! (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie

Clever, clever, clever words, Mr. Einstein... says just enough to get different mind-sets working. Or, should that be the imaginative twinges of ' feel much livelier now we've read you! '

[Einstein Noodle]

Ah, I remember a less cynical self, that thought it odd when one day I woke up caramelized, but cynicism, as we all now know, is the setting agent used in concrete. Where the caramel was crisp thin, my hard outer casing could be used to stop a tank now :)

[Einstein Noodle]

yes..it takes some rubber to the road rash to toughen one up ..totally love your caramelization sir ...even if crusty it's still a tasty treat ... have a great day Lorry .. thanks for your review! ..spot on comments on cynicism says i!

This so reminded me of Tony Jordan's Avatar! The onion has many layers but if we ignore it concrete sets and nothing matters. Interesting food for thought in this one.

[Einstein Noodle]

ahahahah yeah! the onion face ... have to stop by his place this morning ... your mention of him reminds me it has been a while ;) i truly appreciate your take on this ... when i have been lazy for too long i resort to the ever trusty haiku or senryu forms ... keeps me chugging along .. love on you brother!
