A Little Dab

Like batter, a mixture am I
a little dab of mama
a little dab of daddy
a little dab of brother, and sister
a little dab of this teacher, and that
a little dab of this friend, or that one
a little dab of what's been done
a little dab of heart not returned
a little dab of no love
a little dab of disdain
a little dab, a little grain of pain
The pain you imposed on me
Just because you wanted to
Just because you felt like it
What can I say?
A little dab goes a long way.

Whoah! Glad I read this...I remember once a little dab did me in twice. Now he's trying to dab again. I say he's dabbed for the last time. Thanks, Ms. Rose. This dab did go a long way.

I can see you are using your wonderful talent as a catharsis, Shara. What a wonderful testament to the adage that, out of pain something good always arises.

Patricia, thank you...I can see you know what it's like...and you can appreciate that emotions do come out on paper. Somehow I thot' that's what poetry was is emotion. I have seen some pretty raw poetry myself. HUGS

Thanks for the read, and comment!

LngJnAg-- I am a dictionary freak, but this is one I hadn't looked up before. Catharsis, and -wonderful- seem to contradict each other. Oxymoron perhaps? I looked, and it said purging of the bowel..how can that be "Wonderful?" I don't understand the true meaning of your comment.

You are so right, the little nicks can hurt more than some of the bigger ones. I Love this Shara, it really is enjoyable and insightful to consume. Excellent!

I am reminded of the old brylcream commercial..."a little dab'll do you...

Hope the New Year relieves some of the pain...and brings you smiles~
