Best Scoville Poems

The day that I have prayed for,
 Has finally come true.
For I am now and forever more,
 NO longer married to you.

Over are the days of running scared,
 And hiding out of fear.
My head is high and shoulders squared,
 Inside and out I constantly cheer.

No...

I have become a fat chair potato
It would be nice to be a tomato
Maybe a chili pepper hot
Or habanero wrought
Anything else to end this trapped woe

Habanero pepper has 100,000 to 350,000 Scoville Heat Units....

March 19, 2023, is a day I will never forget,
You see, that is the day that my Daddy left.

Not in the way you may think.
For he had gone to Heaven in a blink.

I was on my way to visit,...

I walk along the fare,
 I seem to not have a care.
Shadows loom everywhere,
 Voices whispering "Beware"

I turn around to see
 Who has said that to me.
Not one person is there!
 All vanished into air!

Voices whispering "Beware"
  Wait who is there?
As I stop to...

You have finally come home to me
 Yet you are still as distant as the sea.
You always seem so hidden away
 Never to come into the light of day.

I miss seeing your sweet smile
 I fear it will not be seen for a while.
I know...

Long ago on some days, yet not so long on others,
I do so recall those days when I was yet a mother.
Days of being careless and having fun, 
Not having to be responsible for anyone.

Then one day, a mother is what I became,
Where nothing again...

One of the taken three,
 Has returned home to me.
Five years he has been gone
 So some days he is still withdrawn.

I am happy to have him here,
 I no longer have the fear,
That he will not be free
 As he is home with me.

There...

Familiar is the rain
just as familiar is this pain.
Familiar of being open and raw.
Familiar of just feeling blah.

Familiar of hiding away
and familiar of holding at bay
the panic and fear
of you NOT being here.

Familiar of having no life. 
Familiar is all this strife.
I thought it went...

He is:
  Wounded and broken,
  Terribly soft-spoken.

He used: 
  To be so full of life and zest, 
  And was always on some quest.

He is:
  So incredibly withdrawn,
   And all his smiles are gone.

He used:
  To be...

It seems I just cannot win,
 For my life is in a constant spin.

Not one person can I please,
 Nor does it seem I can appease.

My children refuse to confide in me,
 Telling me to let them be.
 
They expect me always to be around,

My eldest sister Amélie Beth...
ever the amateur family entomologist

Upon texting her a picture
(countless moments ago
since October ninth)
unfamiliar delicate looking critter -
(seen inside the apartment many times),
she quickly identified crane fly
agilely affixed to lampshade.

I figuratively tip hat at Tipulidae
long legged dainty insect
poised to strike proboscis,
where adults...

When you were born, I did not know what to do, 
You see, I was only just the age of two.
Wherever I went, so did you
You see, we were stuck together like glue.

Then as we grew up, we started drifting apart.
Yet, you see, you were...

My heart is breaking in a million pieces.
Why did you have to shatter it to bits?
Were you just marking your time or
Are you actually willing to call it quits?

I feel like my flesh has been ripped
From my very bones, and all the while,
You are acting...

All  of my children did come home
One at a time, almost like a metronome.

It made me happy, as I felt needed
Yet, when they wanted advice it was never heeded. 

I love them all with my entire being, 
Yet, not long it felt like they...

A decade together with you,
Loving and learning all ways new.

What is a decade? A decade is ten years,
Ten years of love, laughter, and some tears.

A decade is one hundred twenty months,
A lot of kisses, hugs, but no regrets, not once.

A decade is five hundred twenty-two...
