Pickle in a Jar

Poem About Gratitude and Susceptibility

By Alexander HanebrinkPublished 7 years ago 1 min read

Preoccupation with internal frustration has me pickled in a jar, and I'm not going far. I'm turning sour and cold. Some other being has control. When and where I'm consumed will soon unfold. Can I revive back to fresh? Vinegar in my flesh has cleansed my mortality. As far as morality, some like pickles. I shouldn't trickle on the thought of being forgotten. If I was a cucumber still, I'd be totally rotten by now. I was picked. I was tricked. Went for a swim under the rim. Turned sweet. Under the lid I hid before I bid ado. They chewed me up and swallowed me down, but the looks on their faces were upside down frowns. I admit that this is kind of sappy, but I'm content with the fact that I made you happy.

About the Creator

Alexander Hanebrink

i keep my mind nourished

with thoughts later flourished

fervent in expressing feelings from the heart

before they are perished

i hope they are cherished

words brought to you in a form of art
