Peels Poems

Blue Paint Peels

Accidentally smoking some small pieces of acrylic 
Sure my most recent circumstances are not idyllic
But I've heard people who've gone mad end up becoming historic.

Truth

Truth as a bride left beside the altar.
Before things even start, she speaks alone,
“Face your bullies upfront or you are done.
Your words waste breath; they have already won.”

Truth invited friends her future to share,
But Cassandra's seer words coldly spurned,
Friends felt her imagination too dark,
Shaking heads with, "There is no war to spark,"

While unworldly witless woke

Apple Peeler That Remove the Core and Peels the Apple

An apple peeler is a gadget
That peels the apple and 
removes the cores
It sits on the counter top
Open the log bar-
Slide the apple on to it
Then close the opening
Turn the handle slowly

The apple peeler slowly
slowly removes the peels

Remove apple core
Now the gadget is ready

Orange Peels Cheetos and a Little Bit of Giggle Water

Remove the peel,  more of the same 
shredding honesty, revealing more kool aid;

orange dust poisoning the air,
Alarmed, but we stay broke and distressed

I prefer to focus
On the feeling of being
Strong and kind
Rather than focus on
All of my woes and sorrows.
It just does me better 
To focus on orange peels
Than how the orange felt to be peeled

Orange Peels and Baby Stars

As I was peeling this orange it whispered an epiphany
"You must first be taken apart to gain strength..
seek out the purist of storms
dive into the cyclone, 
be cleansed be reborn."

I followed the advice of the newly flayed orb
and got what I asked for, 
Tracked down that cleansing wind,
In its billion unrecognizable forms
Chased a shattered constellation.

Orange Peels

I used to eat orange peels in your Chevy car…
Let me be…my luck is long gone…
You hurt my heart…and torn it to shreds…

S H R E D S . . . . 

You left me and kissed me goodbye
Forget and forgive is what I’ve learned from you
I’m unhappy to let you go
I let you in,
