Irreconcilable Smoothness
Grounds for Divorce.
A tireless relation
runs the gamut-
all good things
must come to an end.
He,
the bold, rich,
creamified lover.
And she,
the sweet, sassy
globular counterpart,
have celebrated
marriage
for as long as
I know...
However,
this palate has
changed,
matured,
graduated.
Textures clash,
they disappoint...
I hereby
reject
the continuance
of this
solemn union.
Separation
is plausible,
separation
is obligatory.
*
I remain enamored by
the existence of
this simple legume,
disguised as a nut
but related to the bean.
It's transformed into
a heavenly spread that
slathers the bread
with finesse,
blanketing the
outer fringes of the
toasted crust.
-process complete-
I stare at the
basic
creation
and watch
the oils rise
to cover the
surface
with a healthy
sheen.
I lunge
for that
anticipated bite,
while
the ouster stares
in contempt
from a
distance,
completely devastated.
Alienated for other uses;
no longer necessary
for pairing...
A second bite
occurs,
shortening the
life span
of sadness
for the imminent
breakup.
I stand by my
righteous decision...
*
Pasty, proud,
and newly liberated,
the protein-fortified
spread
may never find
another soulmate
worthy of
its supreme quality
to stand alone.
With one bite left...
I internally
celebrate.
Thank you for stopping by.

Mama’s Boy
I’ve been a fiancé for four years and three months. We’ve been together for six and a half years total, and we have a two-month-old son together. I can’t help but think that we’ll never get married. We haven’t even decided on a wedding date. When I bring it up, he tries to escape the room as if he’s late for something more important.

I just ate a packet of Reese's while reading this 😁
My mouth is water with the new craving for peanut butter!! Looks like I need a snack!!! Such vivid sensory imagery and details in this, I am in constant awe of your talent Lamar!! Great work!
PB&J forever! Great stuff, as always, Lamar! There is always great depth to your writing, and I find in a second reading, it often impacts me even more. Thank you for sharing your talents and heart with us.
🤤 I’m all for peanut butter in bed with a spoon! 😆 Great poem Lamar!!
I'm a sucker for peanut butter. But just last year I tried it with jam and I kept cursing myself for not trying it sooner! I love PB & J so much! Like SO MUCH! But doesn't mean I don't like peanut butter on it's own. I still love it! Your poem has made me so hungry, lol!
Haha the original Mr. and Mrs. - PB & J! Love the unique take on this challenge. I have the draft of a submission which also deals with PB, but in a more abstract way. We shall say if it makes a final draft. I like your take—original, and versatile on the metaphorical and literal palate!
No more jelly? How about banana slices & honey?
Sorry, but I'm a fan of strawberry jam. Peanut butter isn't the same without some support. Even Reese's peanut butter cups would be lacking without the chocolate case. Funny story!
UMMM! Not quite sure what is happening here. My mind is jumping al over the place. But. at least the subject seems satisfied. Hmmm!
This started tragic, and I loved how you worded that, but turned quite funny, and I loved how you worded that too.
Your smoothy poem wonderful to read. I really love that 💞
This is smooth
Brilliant brilliant and one more time… brilliant. You my friend are an amazing poet! 🩵
