An onion of my life 🧅

An onion of my life 🧅

My life is likened to an onion with so many layers of peelings

As I meander thru my head cunjuring from my inner feelings

Picking out within my memories snippets from my past

Reminiscing fun and laughter that’s given me a blast!!

An entire onion is an neverending ply of overlays

As my fingers scratch each flap of skin..they are like the memoirs of my lifelong days

Every single fold of lamina I find
leads me on to an other until I reach the very core

it feels just like my memoirs in my mind..tho I think of some, there will always be loads more

The center of the vegetable is my sweet, firm, juicy delights

That sums up for me the entire story of my lifetime plights

Decades of adventures and stories locked inside my vision

My taking for ages peeling an onion mission

Bit by bit of it driving me around the bend

On and on and on until I finally reach the very end...

Wow Jill your use of the onion is just incredibly clever :) I loved the peeling of the layers, the hidden depths at the core. Your poem is a work of art my friend. What a visual and great pic choice xoxo 😘
