Avoidance
I avoid pistachio ice cream,
I avoid gummy peanuts
I avoid the creeps in front of the supermarket,
I avoid waking up.
Then I avoid going to bed.
I avoid pretentious people.
I avoid cliques, posses, packs, and anything related.
I avoid truth,
I avoid lies,
I avoid wet socks,
I avoid bad haircuts,
I avoid crowds,
I avoid ax murderers,
I avoid cafeteria food.
And I avoid bratty toddlers.
I avoid the mafia
I avoid killer whales
And I avoid sharks.
I avoid my grandma's seafood scampi.
I avoid boy bands.
I avoid fake bacon bits.
I avoid entitled people.
I avoid racism,
But if there's one thing that I don't avoid,
It's avoidance.
Love It!
This was extremely creative. Anyone who reads this can relate to your writing and think about what they avoid, whether its similar or different to your avoidances. The last line really summed it all up. It provided a comical statement and wrapped up the piece!
Next time, maybe provide a sentence on WHY you avoid some of these things, to break up the piece a little bit.
Great job! Keep Writing!
