Peanutbutter-Jelly Whims
Don't stretch yourself too thin,
when their chunky peanutbutter
have nothing better
than to see how far you go.
As they try
to spread their roach infested,
mal-intended slurs,
not even a flutter.
A weight to carry
piling jam so high,
watch as they bend
within the gravity inside.
Then down...you push...
Into anew,
stepping stone so cold
chewing breads
and toasts overheads.
Not even a frown, a wince,
to show distaste in their whims.

Thanks Deli!
For me, it's the uncrusted ones... warmed.
Maybe you can have one with your coffee!
Hopefully with no roaches!
What is in your coffee though?
Haha

Thank you.
Not sure if it's truly original, for I used such a common idea but kinda meshed it with some peanutbutter and jelly.
But yess!! Girl strength all the way!
And you are such an inspiration in that! :)

Food is such a great and fun topic... but unfortunately it always makes one so ravenous after a delighted conversation with details in food...
Hope you get to eat!!

When I was young, I would make double-decker PB&J sandwiches. They were my favorite.

Wow !
Now that's next level!
Never thought of that.
Curious,
Did you layer peanutbutter or jelly first on the second layer???

On second thought this read as a poem of courage to devour the sweetness of life but unafraid to deal with the roaches of life. Love the playful nature of this poem and how it engaged me to taste the peanut butter jelly along with you as your poem unfurled its magic. You write like no other poet I have known. I would love to have a PBJ with you over coffee. :)

I read your other comment too,
Do not doubt yourself,
I appreciate your input and expression of understanding. Helps me to understand and learn if I was able to show my message clearly or not.
Yes, I do have a little playful nature, and was thinking about not letting people walk all over one's niceness, and am definitely ready to embrace all parts of sweetness in and life as well as the roaches that come with it.
I envisoned people laying their roaches, in any shape or form onto someone, and how it may pile as how they say into a "baggage" and how it may be fall internally into someone.
But in the end we just accept it as the weight of reality and we just live on and not let people's sourness get to you, not giving them satisfaction that it may have waivered our well being.
I do love having a little fun with ideas and words and semi connecting them with radom thoughts ans observations I have.
Thank you so much for taking your time to read and appreciating them.
I would enjoy coffee and pb&j with your open and thoughtful mind.

Same, same. I was charmed by the use of a sandwich as a metaphor for strength and courage in the face of opposition. Using something malleable and common to channel mental toughness was pretty cool.

Thanks for taking time to read and comment!
Yes...I think food is cool... as well as mental strength.
So if food is cool, and mental strength is cool, and since my poem has them both, so would it mean that it's double cool?
Haha, I don't have nearly as much insight, experience, and skills to make an amazing product, but hopefully I will as much as you and many others here.
Seriously, thanks for your encouragement.
