A Poem by Marie Harrison

juicy fruit

 

this world

she chews me up

like juicy fruit gum

 

chewing and chomping

snapping on me

 

blowing me into

bubbles

over and over

 

until I fight back

by covering her

nose and eyelashes

with my stickiness

 

at least that b***h

could floss or chew

a breath mint before

all of my flavor

is lost

 

when she's done with me

she blows me into the

dirty miserable streets

abandoning me to

be walked on by

people's disgusting

feet

 

some high-powered

executive chick

ms. pickwick

carries me home on

her high heeled pumps

 

inside her powder room

she pulls me off with a

kleenex when she

gets home

 

before she discards me

into the  trash can she

happily picks up

clumps of her

yorkie poopsie's

doo doo

with the kleenex

 

great I get to

spend eternity

in the landfill

enveloped

in a kleenex

with dog

s**t squished

next to me

This is a great poem. I absaloutely love the style in which it was writen, the ambiguity of the start and the lesson at the end. This is an awesome poem to which the poet I humbly praise for it's awesomeness. Great job!

whimsical and fun, but deep within this write is something hidden, I do like this a lot

haha this is silly, but kind of cute

the ending feels a little abrupt. and i feel like there's a deeper meaning behind this poem that's trying to poke through, and i think it would improve the piece if you could make a little room for that meaning to come through.
