Of lies

This week’s prompt is to write a poem about creating something. I thought of an interesting take on a sticky peanut butter sandwich.

Peanut butter promises
spread upon the blade

Jelly jelly gelatin lies
from jars of indecision

Strawberry secret zing
or raspberry ridicule jam

Hints of honey hugs
sweeten bitter stings

Big bites befuddle
a jaw full of BS

Peanut butter promises
pseudo raspberry jam

A perfect pair to put
between 2 stale slices

of bread

Check out another poem by Reece Beckett from the same prompt. I enjoyed the way it reads beautifully but has such deep meaning.
