Food Flying

Too much
food flying
on the lazy susan;
round and round it goes;
better
take while the taking
is good.
It’s good!
Chopsticks snapping!
grappling with white
and fried rice,
chicken, steak, shrimp.
Red, not white,
poured twice.
Nice!

Yes, went to Atlantis in Bahamas. Brother in law ordered dishes that we shared. I was the only woman at the table so grab or not get any…lol.

What a lively poem, Kim! I love the way it captures the excitement and movement of a meal at the table. The vivid imagery of food spinning and the energetic mood really bring the scene to life. Great job capturing such a fun dining experience!

A lively free-verse snapshot of a shared meal, full of spinning movement, hungry urgency, and cheerful abundance. The clipped lines and exclamations give it a wonderfully animated pace, while details such as snapping chopsticks, fried rice, and wine make the scene immediate and delicious.
