  3. The crack in the bottom of my tea kettle is spreading, every cup of tea I boil for you threatens to kill it altogether. Ceramics weren’t meant to be heated up so many times, but I still make your tea for you every morning.

  4. I left the kettle on, whistling, calling. It pesters and screeches for my attention and I try to ignore it. Pretendit’s not there, but it breaks the peace. Always in the back of my mind…whistling.

  5. Steaming kettles perched on top of heaters in cold cold winters.
    Whistling kettles with tea and soup for my illness.

  6. SIghing, she set the kettle back on the stove as she has done every night since she met him. Never before had she ever had to use the piece of crap her mother had given her so many years ago, hoping she’d grow up. Now, because of him, she used it every night. Every freakin’ night. She took a sip of her new concoction, and grimaced. Even after 3 months, it still tasted likesomeone had dipped there wart covered feet that hadn’t been washed in days into it, and stirred. Spitting out the vile, she stared at the kettle hoping it would turn into something more delectable. A few seconds had passed when she heard a slamming door, equipped with an unidentifiable man entering through.

    “Good evening, Honey.” She kissed his cheek before brushing past him, and up to her room. Just like the vile, he had an acquired taste. A taste she hadn’t yet grown into.

    Sometimes, she wondered if her mother had sent him over, as she did the kettle.

  7. He placed the kettle upon the table, adjusted his glasses, and smiled at me even though I was being annoying. “Are you happy now?” It was obvious he was teasing, but I wanted more. In my head I couldn’t think of anything but ‘I’d love to see you tease me later tonight. You, me , and a dark room…’ Honestly it wouldn’t happen, so I sighed and thanked him watching the way the fabric folded behind his knees as he walked away swinging the tongs from his fingertips.

  8. Pot called the kettle black. At least that’s what you said in a convoluted text; a misunderstanding of great proportions. Here we are, five years later, on the edge of the greatest precipice of our lives.

  9. The Kettles Smoke Blowed Out of the top it whisteled loudly. I quickly pushed it off the hot oven and prepared the arragment of chocolates biscuits. Mum bustled round the living room but i yelled at her to sitdown. I placed the teabags in the bottom and the mugs dropped a tiny bit of milk in the cup poured the steaming into the cup then carefully, removed the teabag into the compost bin. Steadily Holding the tray of chocolate biscuits and the steaming cup of tea. I set it on the table and yelled for mum. Eventally It was tme for washing up the plate of biscuits was long devoured and mums tea was just a little bit of melted chocolate from dunking. Scrubbing madly at the cup to remove the stains, it was soon be time for another break! I Put the kettle back on and emerge once again with the chocolate biscuits.

  11. “Dearie, please put the kettle on the hobbes.”

    “Shirley, you’re from Cleveland, not the midlands. Stop talking like that.”

    “You’re a dirty bitch.”

  12. kettle corn is far superior to all other corn styles. Other than that, do you ever hear about a kettle in any other walk of life? It seems quite snack specific. Even then, only to popcorn.

  13. Kettle-copper, bright, shiny. Useful, cooking, cleaning, storage. A copper pot, really. A metallic cauldron.

  14. The kettle was copper and the pot was black. They had the same function, the same job, similar lives and families, but the Kettle found himself to be better than the pot simply because of his wonderful, copper sheen. He was quite a Kettle indeed; A real jerk if you ask me.

  15. We agreed on kettle corn popcorn. But of course you had to try something new and different when you went to the store. You just needed caramel corn. Caramel? Really? I love you, but I can not eat your caramel popcorn.

  17. The kettle bell crashed to the floor unleashing a loud bang that echoed throughout the warehouse. Sergei collapsed to his knees in exhaustion. Perspiration and tears ran down his nose and pooled at his feet. This was defeat. But glancing up into the mirror he knew, tomorrow he would rise like the phoenix again and pursue his goal anew.

  23. I don’t think I’ve ever had a kettle, or used one. I usually just put the cup in the microwave to warm it up. Why have a kettle that does nothing but take up space in the cupboard… why?

  31. I watched the golden kettle spew steam from the spout- and I wondered, as the round pot shouted out to me, why did every being become trapped? Selfish as I was, I ignored the screams and drank my tea in peace.

  34. We have a copper kettle on the stove. It’s for decoration only, which is kind of cool. We also have an electric kettle, which we use almost daily for tea and soups. I suggest you get one.

  38. when he closes his eyes– really shuts them tight, there is no dark
    no shadows no shards of glass piercing the walls ringing with
    faded laughter.

    there is only the white of a fresh spring room, her tinkling voice,
    smiling eyes, the flourish of a summer dress and the tea colored taste
    of new beginnings and the morning.

    she is called ‘home’ somewhere in the back of his mind.

    but now. now when his eyes slowly open again, shuttered and unseeing,
    he cannot remember what it was like to have a place to
    return to. he is not quite lost not
    quite found.

  39. The kettle whistled, shrill, strident, clamorous. I awakened, abruptly, and was listlessly galvanized into the routine of daily life. Tea would hardly fulfill the family’s need of sustenance, but it would prove a balm to the perpetual pangs of famine and privation.

  40. Kettle…sounds too much like “nettle” for my liking. But then again…”petal” I guess they kind of cancel each other out.
