    You cracked me up! But what about mortal wounds (cuts, bruises etc)? They'd make me cry too.
    Tip: when cutting onions - cut ends off and peel. Rinse under cold running water (the cut ends mainly) then slice away!

    A very nice poem, but it doesn't follow the rules.. you need 5 poems in one entry... this is only one... you may edit and add if you wish but if you don't comply, I will DQ you. Sorry.

    clever! I enjoyed this one... it brought a smile to my face... I must admit, humor is not generally an element that I am looking for in the poetry that I read, but this was actually a pleasant surprise... there is some wisdom to this piece, and I appreciate the way in which it was presented...

    simple, but the end leaves much to be discovered. i like the couplet at the close, and i like that the poem gets stranger as it goes from normal topics such as death and heartbreak to plucking nose hair. i think if you turn the comma after onions into a dash, semicolon, or period, it would fit better with the last two lines, which should stand by themselves as a sentence. it is fitting that you use all ugly imagery, instead of putting happy tears in there as well, because that would definitely undercut the poem's meaning. great job and good luck!
