Life is Hard Sometimes


 Linking with Dverse for Quadrille Monday
The word of the day is "crown" & the poem is exactly 44 words.
Come join in the fun!

 

Sometimes I bite into life like a soft chew candy

forgetting sometimes it can be hard

choices require consideration

like a prenuptial or mortgage

no rushing in like lovers on a one-night stand                              

unless you are good with lawyers and dentists who do crowns.

    Uh-oh. I know that feeling only too well. Hope it is fixed quickly and painlessly .

      Yes, it is a feeling many of us go through. Thankfully this time it is fictional. :-)

    Lawyers and dentists are definitely two of those people you don't wanna have to meet. ;)

    The comparison to life as either soft and chewy or hard candies is great, and I like your conclusion!

    I really like this piece, especially the contrast made between lawyers and dentist in the last stanza. Nicely done.

    Love the pre-nup and then the dentist's crown-tied all together in a super fun bow. Much enjoyed.

    Lawyers and dentists, oh my! They'll put a crimp in your style! Love your metaphor of soft chewy candy: works so well with how we naively rush into things.
