I.
I buy myself flowers
Only to end up
Sneezing all over
The place;
How can an act
Of kindness,
Turn that easily
Into an act
Of hate?
II.
Everything deserves a break
So one of these days
I shall take my thoughts
Out for a walk,
And then I’ll make them
Go back without me.
III.
You can send me
An empty box
As a present
For I can love it
For the things
That will be there;
I’ll make paper planes
Out of the gift-wrap
And scrunchies
Out of ribbons,
And use the box
To store them in.

Brilliance throughout. You had me nodding and grinning the entire way. I couldn’t help thinking about how happy a cat would be to receive an empty box as a Christmas gift! 😀 I love these mini-collections of yours. Such originality and thoughtfulness, and such skillful presentation. Excellent stuff, Aaysid. 🙂

This is beautiful and very cleverly written, Aaysid. I particularly like the second verse
‘I shall take my thoughts
Out for a walk,
And then I’ll make them
Go back without me.’
How I’d love to do that in real life. Thanks for sharing. Xx 💖

A fine line between love and hate, they say. Aaysid, you are accomplished at noticing and writing about life’s contrasts, as you did in the first stanza. Your poetic brilliance flows from there. 💖
