Fragile Pieces – #NaPoWriMo19 – 1

The optional prompt for NaPoWriMo today is to write instructions in a poem.
In my usual way, I have decided to consult the universe and ask it to…instruct?…me by means of a random word generator. Today I used Textfixer. It appeared to have a rather vicious agenda to begin with…!
If you want to woo me,
Don’t make each conversation a bloodsport.
Don’t escalate my voice to fever pitch,
As I bare each tooth
And scatter my fragile jigsaw under your menacing glare.
Trying to account
For the irregular edges
Takes all my energy.
Forever missing something,
A capsule erroneously opened.
This ‘white whale‘
That eludes even itself.
Tempt me in
With the fizz of your intellect;
Praise my efforts
To disguise how convertible
I know your fickle pleasure boat to be.
Does this read as instructions, or just commands?! Spot the mixed metaphors too…!
No matter: that’s the first ‘official’ April 2019 poem done and dusted! Hurrah!
