Buy Best Own Less





Bite-size contest #152
Sponsor: Line Gauthier


Words flowing from the heart in my chest:
Do we dare pursue another quest?
Why must we idolize excess?
What if we buy the best?
Learn to eat less?
Eliminate the rest?

A crisp, thought-provoking bite-size poem. Its tight rhyme and rapid-fire questions give the piece a persuasive, almost manifesto-like rhythm, while the “best / less / rest” refrain neatly turns consumer excess into a memorable call for mindful living. Congratulations on your contest placement
