Hungry

Simply a metaphor for loneliness.

i get very Hungry

i go to the Store

i try to Meet Vegetables

but they go to sleep and snore

i sit in the Dairy Aisle

listening to the words of the Eggs

i rendezvous with the Cereal

they have so many jokes to say

the Meat Section was interesting

the Beef are in rare form today

i search for so many Groceries

but none want to go home with me anymore

i get so very Hungry

so Hungry i can’t Eat anymore

This is a very different, and interesting, poem. I like the extended metaphor. Nice work.

A very creative metaphor indeed, and the last line really ties everything in nicely. Sometimes we purposely lead a reclusive lifestyle to avoid rejection and hurt. I guess the past has a way of making her scar, yes? Yet the hunger remains...

This was very different, my friend. I enjoyed it.
