POETRY | ILLUMINATION

Why Do You Torment Me So?

Aggravation of the highest

All I want to see are the secrets you possess to lift the lid of your Pandora's box and behold the jewels within So much beauty and awe await me there tantalizing my senses

Why do you torment me so?

I see the goodies stacking their numbers rising in anticipation and I so want to see their brilliancy with itching fingers and bitten lip I slowly approach my target only to watch you spin

Why do you torment me so?

Fingers tap so impatiently your delights I wish to behold moments pass until I sigh reloading, reloading but no changes arrive just more spinning, spinning and finally you unfold

This poem reveals my constant aggravation at the notification system here on this platform. It is difficult enough as it is to keep up with comments and replies as a writer, but it makes things even more complicated as the owner of a publication. It’s enough to make me need a drink and some comfort food. Good thing I have neither. Thanks for reading.

Today I wish to share with you these amazing stories that I have been gathering. I call them snowflakes, but not in a demeaning or denigrating manner. No, these are unique, rare, and special stories, just as each snowflake is unique, rare, and special.

Gathering Snowflakes

Awesome stories in January. No two are alike!
