Tears

You may say that I don't shed tears--
it's just that you're not there when I do,
or that if I need to when you're around,
I swallow and they come out in my poo.


When the wind blows or someone yawns
they come rushing out in streams
and when I need to shed them most
they come tearing out in screams.

Is that picture from Alice in Wonderland?

Chuck said...

Yes, she is in a pool of her own tears.

is the poetry your own, or theivery?

Chuck said...

I heard the words in my own head and my own fingers typed it if that makes it my own.

I love it when you mention me in your poetry!

Excellent poem! For some reason it reminded me of the poem "not waving, but drowning." Ever read that?
