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.

Jennifer Proxenos August 13, 2021 at 12:26 PM 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.

Harry Horsman August 13, 2021 at 1:15 AM 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.

Beryl Edmonds August 10, 2021 at 2:36 PM 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

Marilene Evans August 10, 2021 at 1:01 PM 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.

Sotto Poet August 10, 2021 at 10:20 AM 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.

Victor Buhagiar August 10, 2021 at 8:31 AM Wow, Alexis. Your electric input is high and might explode. Calm down. Hugs.

Tom Cunningham August 10, 2021 at 7:56 AM Sounds like you blew a fuse Alexis, but it can be fixed. Hope your week is going well Tom
