Yep. I now have a category titled “onion poems.” You’d be surprised how many of these stinky suckers I write. 😉
You and Sylvia!
I like the first line “depends up” — an order at the nursing home!
And the idea of cutting ions. Can they even be cut?
Love your use of the word skuttle.
And then the end is perfect!
Thanks for all the love, Girl. 🙂
I can’t believe you used the word “skuttle” without saying “scuttlebutt.” 😉
This is some serious layering. LOVE “so much deepens up” … definitely spiritual. Also, depends diapers. Like, no matter HOW bad things get, just pull those britches up and forge on. Love “how an ion’s cut.” “the brink sink” “bored all”
Excellent.
