Previously titled "Starving Poet".

I'll have my poems for dinner. I'm starving, can't you tell? They don't make me any money so, I'll eat them, might as well. I'll gobble up each verse, each haiku, rhyme and prose; and if they smell unpleasant, I'll simply hold my nose. If, on the other hand, they end up tasting sour, I'll use Adobo - Goya and each piece I'll devour. I'm done eating my poems and my stomach is upset; I knew consuming them would be something I'd regret. (c) JH 12/30/09

I think this is a very interesting resolve--a well written poem that addresses the the life of artists of all forms. How you put is so stark and in the face, it almost hurts. Thanks for this, jacqueline.

There is that saying about keeping your words sweet in case you have to eat them.
Much enjoyed!

You have a nice touch, Jacqueline, light and deep at the same time and a self-effacing humour any decent writer has to have. Welcome to AD.
