Gershon Wolf Poet Personification

I'M Glad To Be An Onion - Star Contest

I'm glad to be an onion
To have such wide 'a-peel'
I shed my layers sensually
Olfactory workers reel  

I do it in the kitchen
One day I'll be on stage
Juicy slices circling that pole
My striptease all the rage

Indiana Shaw July 27, 2020 at 9:39 PM There are more layers to your imagination than the normal poet peep, now you hit us with this onion poem that had us all weep (with tears of laughter) . . . ; ) Gershon Wolf August 2, 2020 at 12:27 PM I just hope that most of my layers are not just 'layers of fat.' Thank you for your kind words, Indiana! :) gw

John Watt July 5, 2020 at 2:33 PM You'll always be a star in my sky, Gershon. I'm starting to tear up now from that wafting onion sensation. Enjoy your day, my friend ~ John Gershon Wolf July 5, 2020 at 2:37 PM Thanks for the encouragement, John! Peace be with you, Gershon

Mark Toney July 2, 2020 at 7:01 AM Lol, Gershon, this is a hoot! When I read this I laughed so that I had tears in my eyes. Wait, could it have been the onion??? Delightful personification. Take care and stay safe! ~Mark Gershon Wolf July 2, 2020 at 7:11 PM Ha, ha! What's more powerful? -- An onion or the image of an onion? Food for thought, eh?! Thanks, Mark. Smiles, Gershon

Michelle Faulkner June 28, 2020 at 11:00 PM I swear I could smell a peeled onion while I read this - That is one shameless onion! Gershon Wolf June 29, 2020 at 4:15 PM Onions are more uninhibited than I'd every imagined. ~ Still crying tears...

Evelyn Judy Buehler June 28, 2020 at 11:00 PM A hilarious and well crafted personification. I guess people will weep for joy when Onion performs. :0 Good luck in the contest. :) Gershon Wolf June 29, 2020 at 7:15 PM Ha, ha! Love your comment. ~ Tears in my eyes
