Day 81: 5 Minute Freewrite- Prompt: I floss my tears

in #freewrite7 years ago

Day 81: 5 Minute Freewrite Challenge initiated by @mariannewest. Prompt: I floss my tears

Tears shed from sadness are wiped and tossed away after they lay, not wanting to be kept as they are wept.
Memories of sadness, enough to fill a river; thinking of that makes me quiver.
Who needs them, who wants them? Not me, I choose glee.

Wanting to capture my tears of happiness, to the Salty Dog Saloon I went with finesse.
To house them, I bought the special flask; not an easy task.
There sat men with tears in their beers, and I was met with rude leers. You men need to look in those mirrors.

Me being quirky, I floss my tears because they are murky.
I remove the salty grit for only fresh ones to remain; where happiness will reign.

When needed for glee, I pour them over me. Cleanse what offends. Sadness rinsed away for today, along with pain

held deep in my mind; not wanting me to find. Laughter replaces cries and soothes the eyes, and moans are replaced
with happy sighs.

Which tears would you use, if you had to choose?

I'll always choose laughter. It's held me together so far. Cleansing the sadness and letting happiness reign. Your poem is true and artful @whatisnew. 🌹

hey this is harder than I thought haha. Looks so easy with your writing. But yes, I'll let you know ;)

Just let your mind go and you will be amazed at what you come up with. You can polish it after your write it if you want to...fix any errors.

It's been so hard for me to even think about a topic. I don't know why I make it so hard for myself lol. I think once you did your first one the next one is going to be easier. At least I hope so haha

This is so great! I love to collect tear of joy! Need to get a flask!
