a little simile here,
a splash of metaphor there,
all carefully folded and mixed
to form a delicious souffle.
it goes into the oven
at the perfect temperature.
the souffle begins to rise,
the sweet aroma engulfs the room.
but the timer chimes early.
they take the souffle out,
and it sinks within itself,
forming a deep, large canyon.
but this souffle is different.
they put it back in the oven.
it bakes longer and longer
until it finally rises again.
Sometimes it takes time to find the right words. Take all the time you need. :)
