Preserving

 

She,

a happy homemaker,

always bottling

and preserving

her emotions,

under pressure-

until
she was shaken…

 

Then,

like spoiled food,

she ExPloDEd!

This terse piece goes much deeper than one might think. That "explosion" can take many people down--some permanently. Bottling it all up can be very dangerous. Well written piece, Cryssa! Hugs, Elizabeth

Hmmm... You do know you should warm up those jars before you fill them with that boiled up matter, don't you? Reduce that temperature grad.u.a..ly... or, as Evan says, go soak your head!

Sounds familiar though. --charlie

Pressure, under any circumstances, if left unchecked can explode. Great write and message.

Pressure cooker, eh? Felt this one heating up ... until it blew yellow onto the page. Stuffing is good, but not in this case. :) Well done, Cryssa.

(((HUGS))) and love, Karla.
