pickled epiphanies

another collection of thoughts

freshly pickled epiphanies

I put them
in a jar,
my most recent
epiphanies ...
added
a brine of
things that
are not meant to be,
and screwed
the lid on tight.
left them
on the shelf,
away from
direct light.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

carcinogenic love

imagine
my surprise
when I
realized
my apathy
metastasized
to include
all the parts
of you.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

a certain thrill

each entry
into me
is another
exit

further
from
you.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Put the postman down, doggie, I said, "I hate males" ...

freshly pickled epiphanies! lovely and playful! glad i stopped by :)

[Lyn Anderson]

I am glad these were pickled to your liking.:)

[icelandicblue]

To me the poem speak of a journey. I enjoyed them all. An interesting idea you have those pickled epiphanies. I like that.

[Lyn Anderson]

Why thank you. I appreciate your visits.

[Delmar Cooper]

Three wonderful poems that seem like something you found on a beach after a high tide. Effortless or so they seem.

[Lyn Anderson]

Thank you, I like that.

[Neville]

Absolutely you. Fantastic through and through & just for the record, KLG they made me chuckle too.. N

[Lyn Anderson]

Good. Because that was my intention. I do believe I have stumbled upon my signature style, in putting together the pieces that always started out as one.

[Neville]

Indubitably

[Matching Socks]

Awesome, every single one of these you have ever delivered.
But I have never laughed so hard as I did when I read that last line,

[Lyn Anderson]

Ha ha that's good. The postman's not laughing too hard.

I love when you do these... little mini presents... the construction of each.. the transitions.. the condensed treasures.. I loved each and every one... witty metaphor that had me giggling.. of course the second tickled the medical geek in me... oooh yea... the presentation, the flow, the pauses, the font and the wording was a masterpiece in the next... each....line...slicing...its...point... and the last.. haha... what more can you say... awesome piece... one of my new favs.... your variety packs are always awesome!..:D

[Lyn Anderson]

Rene thinks I should publish these my signature style. Thanks.

[AprilRN1210]

they are definitely of the highest quality, and would be inclined to agree with him..

[Rene Salinas]

Put the postman down doggie, damn that must be the best line I have read this week. I thought the whole doggie thing as going to transpose into an explicitly sexual thing but the writing ended there. The sequence again is great I can only imagine the level of intensity your relationships contained. But the metaphor of the jar for preserving says it all.

Always a fan of this type of writing.

Thankyou

[Lyn Anderson]

Thanks. It actually happened. I am on short notice not to have mail delivery to my home.:)

[Bright Ocean Star]

I liked the first one; Pickled Epiphanies. I have a similar bottle at home. It's called Pickled Desire. Some of the things I desire most in the world were one time within my grasp, but were not meant to be, so I had to pickle them and put them on a shelf. Great lines, KLG!

[Lyn Anderson]

Thanks, I hope my desires are never pickled.

[Bright Ocean Star]

I'm still working on them... Have a great day, my friend....

[Lyn Anderson]

I hope so, and I will try.

[jacob erin-cilberto]

"a certain thrill" is my absolute favorite of these...you said something infinitely plausible in so few words.

[Lyn Anderson]

Thank you, I appreciate that. I had to find a way to word it for it to have that precise feel.
