Sometimes
I feel like a cucumber
really thick skin
protects my soft mushy insides
protects the pallid flesh
and seeds of my being
Sometimes
I am foolish enough to tangle with
a peeler, leaving me exposed
turn to mush
and rot on a shelf
with the other vegetables

duddle146over 17 years agoUsually being thick skinned nothing is a bother. Occasionally someone comes along who ~ who rings my chimes ~ the wrong way.
Quiet mystical strength to this work. Comparison to a cucumber strengthens this rendering.
Maria2394over 17 years agoyou could strengthen it by losing some of the "extra" words, such as "soft", in the mushy insides line, as mushy implies softness anyway.
You have a good thing going and I would love to see you give it some more thought.
hugs to you

LeBrozover 17 years agoInteresting metaphor. If you were a guy, I'd worry about you describing yourself as a cucumber.
