Notes About The Poem

The FOOD looks so good But IT Can't fool everyone. :) I wonder if you (THE READER) even knows the Resturant Golden Corral, it's an all you can eat buffet. Looks good, but something tells me the food is filled with artificial flavoring. ;) 

   

A   AvatarThe Owner at the Golden Corral, down here In Humble Texas, reminds me of the Guy from Ghost Ship. LOL, it's an awesome movie :)

Golden Corral

(You Can't fool everyone)


1#      fooled by the sun leading the perfect crowd, one cow left behind.

2#     twisting lines, he shepherds a flock into a dark corner

3#     endless buffet in question,  his eyes spot a broken artist

For *** Contest :) Wish me Luck

Hi Linda, nicely written. The movie you mentioned (ghost ship) is quite creepy but engaging too. I like scary movies with good substance.

Awesome poem. I've ate at the Golden Corral, and many other all you can eat buffets over the years. starting with Ponderosa. But this much is true, Golden Corral makes me sick, no matter how much or little I eat.. to much sodium, something just isn't right and yeah.... My kids beg to go there because of all the food, it's just not healthy.. your poem is great, and I'm not fooled by the display to attract the hungry.

haha. Oh PD, Golden Corral, huh? I wanted to say hi, and I chose a great poem to come visit. I actually love this place in Utah!! But I never go there. Too much temptation. I can't control myself around all the food.

Hi Linda, excellent write as usual, 3 Monoku. Each is excellent in its own way. Into the darkness we go on a song of tomorrow. You can't fool everyone, i think my trouble could be i can't fool anyone, but why should i wish too. The picture of the food just makes me hungry Linda. True though, from a picture you never know what you are going to get. Well the writes are excellent. A seven rating for this piece and into my faves. A new dawn. Hugs....Mike. XX

Liked the line "his eyes spot a broken artist"! I hope you are well and are having a good day. Do you follow baseball at all? I have written a poem or two about the sport. Peace & Love Matthew Anish

This read ever so well as a complete poem, with 'One Cow left behind' the last line interesting which ever way one reads it.

You are also very brave to be the one pointing this out. You have to know someone is going to spill the beans. Ideas are never secure, but they can be right on target. So the question for the owner is, "Do you love food, or do you just love what the crowd brings you ($)?" I hope it is the former. It takes a lot of tender loving care to make a meal that is deliciouso and good for people. I don't know the place. There's only four in NY, and I have never been to one. Probably bad!!!
