Avoidance - a stream of consciousness poem for Freewrite # 178 - sugar bowl
Greetings fellow Steemians! Here is my 42nd 5 minute freewrite. The prompt is: "sugar bowl".
This one actually really did take me 5 minutes to write :)
Freewriting is a daily practice for most poets and fiction writers, designed to loosen up and get things flowing, like stretching before exercise. Visual artists, especially those who draw or paint from life (figures, landscapes, still lives, etc) do something similar in "gesture drawings". After reading several of @poetrybyjeremy's freewrite posts, I got excited to try these again. Many thanks to @mariannewest for hosting this daily freewrite!

Avoidance
When you need dinner
But all you can think of
Is the sugar
In the bowl
Sitting there
Uneaten.

Funny:):):)When I was a kid, I loved to eat sugar cubes. I don't think I could stomach them now. Do you still like them?
lol oh no! I barely eat any sugar or sugar substitutes at all anymore, not even cookies or cakes. Metaphor ;D
Ahhh ... was slow on the uptake:)
Minimalistic, still transpire your unique style. Sometimes in life we are expected to build something complex and beautiful but all we can think is to get an immediate pleasure.
Thank you @f3nix, yes exactly.
Funny the way they come out little like that sometimes lol.
There's always some mystery in the process.
