Love and Monkeys

Saw the picture, and had to write something. lol!

Love and Monkeys

She said love is only a tiny fraction of the building materials that form a relationship. There was a little monkey staring at me from the pet shop window. I told her I was lost, and she was never going to find me unless she loved me. She began to scream about respect and honesty and the color of bathroom tile. I couldn’t speak anymore. I felt like an unscheduled helicopter had landed on the roof of my mouth. I rubbed my eyes, looked up, and she was gone. I wondered how much time had passed: 20 minutes? 20 years? But, then I saw the monkey. He had not grown at all. Couldn’t have been too long. I got up, finished my soda and went to meet the only person who had weathered her nonsensical rant. He must be a wise and patient monkey. Maybe, I thought, he would love me.

Very interesting! I like how you switch between several scenarios. It really has my attention but still I'm completely confused! Still great write, even though I don't get it, I still am captivated!
Also I must say that picture is the cutest thing I've ever laid eyes on!

Besides having humour this is the kind of cleverness that comes from life experiences, your either a psychologist....or you've had a lot of therapy...either way, keep doing what your doing, not only does it work it also entertains. An excellent write, I read some of your others too, I will have to read them again before I review...my head is still delightfully whirring..thankyou.

The line that stood out for me is:

"I felt like an unscheduled helicopter had landed on the roof of my mouth."

Very original.

Yes, this was fun, and I love that picture...such a cute little monkey.
I have a stuffed animal monkey that I've had since I was three, and even
wrote a poem about him. The things that inspire us:)).

=D I love how this portrays the stereotypical male attitude and tuning out the woman while she tries to explain her views on a relationship.

Hah this was a very cool write. I like the monkey and the absurdity but comfort it states at different points of the poem. I sensed a little DH Lawrence in this, to be honest. Good write!
