Question: Do you find posting poetry on here an "Acquired Taste"!?
Acquired Taste

When first this strange diet I did start
so foreign was its taste
with great hesitancy did I choose
a word or two to post!.
Yet soon the words in mouth
felt comfortable and sweet
I found I took larger helpings
eager to post a full mean!.
Poet friends as master chefs
critiqued and offered praise!.
New monster have they created
now ravenous to post my thoughts
I've an appetite that won't be sated!.
What started as an acquired taste
has become my steady diet!

I'm famished, are you!?Www@QuestionHome@Com

"Sometimes I have my doubts of words altogether,
and I ask myself what is the place of them!. They
are worse than nothing unless they do something;
unless they amount to deeds, as in ultimatums or
battle-cries!. They must be flat and final like the
show-down in poker, from which there is no appeal!.
My definition of poetry (if I were forced to give one)
would be this: words that become deeds!."Www@QuestionHome@Com

I sure enjoy the feasts that everyone creates for me to savour with my eyes!.I`m like a kid,only silly putty in my mouth!.Not very digestable, but fun to chew on once in awhile!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

The metaphors of food, cooking and eating for writing poetry is excellent!. The rhyme and meter add to the strength of the poem!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Ma, Ma, sitting in the grass
Along came a spider and bit her in the @$$

Stepped on the poor little spiders head!.
