Tears

Is it an onion? Or, is it a tear? I See A life As like Peeling an Onion. At first The layers are thin And hardly noticeable. Then as you go along the Layers become much thicker Laced with flavor and vitamins And tears, sweet precious tears We should treasure and savor Each one. For, the dead Cry no more. Timothy I. Brumley

In this poem I begin talking about an onion and the shape is of an onion. Then, as I begin to speak of tears, the shape suddenly becomes a tear!

I can't wait for it to drip, and shatter into a million letters, it looks real.
