Smorgasbord

for Sunday Scribblings March 16, 2008
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

By the time I get home
from school,
I’m hungry.

First I change
into jeans
and a sweatshirt

then I turn
on my computer
and begin to eat.

I nibble
on a few email
appetizers

take a sip
of wine
at my own blog

then peruse
the array
of entrees.

I pick up a few
exotic tidbits
at Writers’ Island.

At Poem:
A Virtual Poetry Group
I find meat to chew on.

I munch on three
wordy veggies
at 3 Word Wednesday

and try
the casseroles
at Totally Optional Prompts.

For dessert
I still have some sweet
puddings left at Sunday Scribblings.

Sated, I click
to Word and begin
cooking my own poem.

  3. I think of the photos on my blog as appetizers, the text as the main entree, and poetry as dessert. Seems like we're on the same wavelength.

  4. I like that! Blogging IS food -- for the brain, for creativity.

    I'm not sure who gets the honor of being chocolate, though. Too hard to choose.

  6. Very creative smorgasbord. Much healthier than a trip through an all-you-can eat buffet!

  10. First off, thank you for commenting on my post. This was my first Scribble, and yours was my first ever comment.

    Secondly, what a lovely post you have here. Just delightful. I'm not sure what all of the prompts are that you've mentioned, but am I wrong in assuming that each one mentioned is consecutive in terms of the day of the week it is issued? If so, I absolutely love that. Even if not, I find the idea of your poem to be splendid, and the execution of it to be practically perfect. Simple, sweet, and all around enjoyable.
