Caren Krutsinger Poet Personification

When I Was a Pepperoni Pizza

I got the chills
The shivers 
The shakes
My cheese chattered
I crossed my pepperoni
Frozen like a popsicle

I hid myself in the far back 
of the icy dungeon under a hamburger pizza
How about a pizza? A giant asked.
The door opened. 
The giant reached in and plucked me out

I was set down on a wire rack in a warm sauna
A wonderful warm sauna.
A door slammed
It got really dark.
Dark as the freezer, but warmer.

I began to smile.
Warming up all over....
