For today’s prompt, pick a food, make it the title of your poem, and write your poem. It can be a food you love, food you hate, or food you’ve never even tried before. Your poem can be about the food–or not. Your choice.
my fav food is tiny fish eggs only in season for two months a year then nothing from fishes even if you squeeze her and the fishmonger begs just one of the things i misses.
always loved my seafood it puts me in a good mood mussels, cod, prawns and hake in a seafood pie i like to bake.
straight up on the screen guys. no notes, or copies. not my best obviously, but ok after 5 pints, a traumatic day and and idiots fighting in the library.
Paul not nice to post you poem in the reply section of another poet's poem. gets confusing as to who the replies are meant for. I knew you would write about seafood but thought it would be a seafood pizza and that would have followed nicely with Victoria's verse.
Victoria, Paul Fowler made it rough to comment on your poem. However, I thought you made good use of today's prompt. The pizza man!!! You really cracked me up!!! I loved it!!!
oops. did i post it wrong again. technology hates me and confounds me at every turn. pencil and paper kids. it's the only way to be sure. remember all the great poets that lost their work on gotpoetry, 'cos one dickhead couldn't do his job. love those little fish eggs - love and peace - paul.
sardines and root beer do not bring her glee genes I guess cause I ate not celery or chicory beans but sardines and root beer when she was in me leans towards foods I would never fancy
She seems to have too much fear sadly she doesn't hold much dear free exchange becomes less clear agree we're different - like sardines and root beer.
Okay, were you trying to make me feel nauseated? LOL The thought of sardines and root beer is just plain gross. But the poem was effective in evoking the atmosphere.
There is absolutely nothing wrong with sardines and rootbeer. I don't like rootbeer but I like rootbeer koolaid...but I don't drink koolaid anymore. Very fun poem actually!!! I enjoyed it a lot!!!
Bonnie, I got a big kick out of your poem. I thought it was pretty funny. It's getting harder and harder to write a poem every day. But, we are doing it...somehow...
the very first humans consumed a lot of berries they actually lived on berries and roots
now, we know so much more about the berries we eat that we should eat more and not even eat meat
berries contain polyphenols, you know which are jam packed with antioxidants berries also prevent diabetes and other diseases we could look up
they can help reduce cell damage that lead to the dreadful cancer they give you energy you crave and lower your cholesterol
berries slow down the aging process and above all are excellent brain food so, if you want to be healthy and smart eat your berries every day, they taste good, too!
Secrets slither down
ReplyDeletehallways concealed by doorways
eclipsed by shadows.
Her red lips, red hair
red dress, shimmer in dim light
as the door opens.
"Stop," she cautions, then
views the intruder, smiles
with invitation.
Case of mistaken
identity, so like him,
she discerns too late
it was not bright, door
unlocked, unprotected. One
can intrude unheard.
"Pizza?" he inquired.
Pepperoni, sausage. Smells
waft across the room.
mmmmmmm pizza, though not pepperoni. i'll get back to you on that - love and peace - paul.

DeleteThanks or your entertaining verse. Good for you for keeping up with the pace. I'm about to post mine now.

DeleteVictoria, I am really enjoying this tale. I got a good chuckle from todays pizza man in your poem. Good job.

DeleteI agree, a vivid poem very nicely done.
Deletewell that's what i craved when i was pregnant with shaleen and she absolutely hates both...lol

DeleteFruit
ReplyDeleteI harvest the fruit of my mind and heart
and use it to feed my soul
the poems I write are part of my plan
to make the entire world whole.
The seeds in the fruit will grow into more,
as the world goes around the sun.
and the love they spread makes a helpful way
to see ourselves as one.
My little seeds and your little seeds
will grow in the best of light
and others will join their energy
to set this world aright.
As we play the parts we are given to play,
the work that is needed is done.
With patience we weave, we plant or bake
our way around the sun.
definitely a different take on the prompt and a true one. good write! enjoyed it.
DeleteI like this take on the prompt. It certainly was unexpected and enjoyable. enjoyed.
DeleteTasha, I really enjoyed your poem today. I expected it to be about food and it was food for thought. Good job.
DeleteThank you all for your kind comments. It is heartening to read such nice words.
Delete" why can't we have a harvest for the world !" - the lighthouse family. take care tash.
DeleteDo you agree? any suggestions welcome. I have a small collection of children's poems and this one would fit right in.

I think you could have done more to make this more poetic and less like a lecture. you could have said more with less.
DeleteHmm, I am afraid I agree with Bonnie here. I do think what you have said is good, for sure. Maybe shorten each verse a bit?
Deletei'm a raspberry man myself wolfie...well, not literally, or i'd be all squishy ha ha - strawberries and blackcurrents - paul.
DeleteBrussel Sprouts
ReplyDeleteI hate Brussel sprouts
the only thing they're good for
is the garbage can!
cracked me up even though i disagree... i happen to like Brussel sprouts especially covered in cheese
DeleteActually, I think they are pretty good sauteed with seeds or shredded into a salad.
Deletewise words mate.
DeleteFood
ReplyDeleteFood is good for me
I eat it every day to live
it keeps me going
Good Job!! You tell it like it is, short and sweet, congrats!
