Short Circuit Thoughts

I'm sitting here with short circuit
thoughts.
In a lousy dilemma, I don't know 
what to do.
I had a thousand watts dreams for 
this love affair.
But it all came crashing down due 
to the fact that it was a microwave 
type of love.
We didn't let it take time to bake or
simmer in a crockpot.
Now it's over, faster than it began.

This is a poetic gem, so clever Alexis dear friend to use the terminology you did to describe, a half baked love affair! Hugs and blessings, Jennifer.

This is what poetry is all about, Alexis, so many thoughts going down different roads, to bring pleasure in so many different ways. Love this gem.

Microwave love doesn’t last, it heats up quick and cools down fast. Slow is the way to go when falling in love with a new beau. A good write Alexis… Belle

Oh, No!!! That's why I don't want to use microwave, even in hitting up left overs. I rather use the stove, slow; but better. Something better is coming.

Wow, Alexis, You wrote brilliant prose; I'm sorry it didn't turn out as planned; it's not worth your sorrow, Alexis, because I'm confident you'll start it properly the next time.
