Angry Kettles

 

Angry, blistering, snarling,

My kettle needs attending to,

It is screaming for my attention.

 

Inside it boils skin-burning

Frustrations

“Pour me out!” it cries,

Steam pouring from the only escape route.

 

I hurry to stop its ear-piercing screech,

Unsure of what it says about me…

Am I alleviating its pain?

Or assuaging my own?

 

*No pic today to go with this. Letting it speak for itself.

    Dear Lizzi, it speaks for itself, it really does.

    I wish I knew the answer to this. Am I advocating or just making myself feel better?

    I’d say a bit of both, but tea is always good 🙂
