#persuasive - Hello Poetry

Chocolate pie is the kind of feeling that makes you happy It simply is a delight Pumpkin pie is the kind of feeling that makes you sad It grimly divides the family at the table during Thanksgiving But why do you feel so sad? Are you sad merely because of the soiled grounds Snack food crumbs, dogs licking it away, Chairs you bought at IKEA that were simply too complex to build correctly, the neighbors kid that came to help put it together I am thankful, but unsure Between the haves and have nots I am like the half of a piece of pie You threw me away, like the shirt you bought, cost $5, made in six cents an hour So simply, if you were to ask, ‘I’ll have the cherry pie’ Are you ready to help pick, wash, cut, grow The fruit you maybe once assumed of its story, now free of pesticides I will no longer be ashamed to admit That pie sounds much more appetizing Than a banana split, because then I won’t have to share

Cherry Pie

Chocolate pie is the kind of feeling that makes you happy It simply is a delight Pumpkin pie is the kind of feeling that makes you sad It grimly divides the family at the table during Thanksgiving But why do you feel so sad? Are you sad merely because of the soiled grounds Snack food crumbs, dogs licking it away, Chairs you bought at IKEA that were simply too complex to build correctly, the neighbors kid that came to help put it together I am thankful, but unsure Between the haves and have nots I am like the half of a piece of pie You threw me away, like the shirt you bought, cost $5, made in six cents an hour So simply, if you were to ask, ‘I’ll have the cherry pie’ Are you ready to help pick, wash, cut, grow The fruit you maybe once assumed of its story, now free of pesticides I will no longer be ashamed to admit That pie sounds much more appetizing Than a banana split, because then I won’t have to share

Wake up in my embrace Feel her graze against your hair My lips brush your neck She slips her hand downward My mouth, wet She moans your name I ******* scream Colorful kiss Persuasive caress Take me there Make me forget

Wake up in my embrace Feel her graze against your hair My lips brush your neck She slips her hand downward My mouth, wet She moans your name I ******* scream Colorful kiss Persuasive caress Take me there Make me forget
