HEAVY TUMBLING STORY Before forbidden words dawn to confess Come... Come.. C O M E... Uncoil your taste-buds to me Entrust you health fully to thee Yours truly, FOOD ___________________________________ Enamored beyond possible reproach I opened my mouth for crumbs of tasty Crumbs later become spoonfuls Spoonfuls turned to one, two, three plateful Appetite feast in crescendo of daily treats Boosting my body: front and rear - pound per pound My clothes then groan: a cri de couer Yet, desirous mouth craved for more and more Eating up to the crust and core of everything Months passed, Bigger! BIGGER, I come to be. 'Til even walking and standing, I can't do My room - my only day and night intimate boo My children, I robbed tardily of their joys As their focus and attention divided by two Fats stored everywhere on my bod Gradually they are killing me - stealing my breaths An oxygen via prongs must be on beside to help me breathe My back an archipelago of aching ulcer... Comestibles become my sweetest agony Breaking me and my dignity so gently Obesity then my heavy tumbling story... __________________________________________________ Food Can't Live with it can't live without it - Poetry Contest Sponsor Debbie Guzzi ~~~1st Place~~~ ©Olive Eloisa Guillermo 10:51pm, Oct. 17, 2014

Well Olive, I learned a new word today. And this poem calls for us to look at our health and eating habits. The problem,sadly, is often more pronounce in the less affluent communities as they have fewer resources and many parents who work two jobs to make ends meet. Congrats on the top spot in the contest.

comestibles is a collective term for food Rajat if used as a noun and if used comestible without "s" it means edible.. :) thanks for the visit.. :)

Hi Olive_eloi!! now who's being greedy!! I have a solution for you....cut down on contests because you are having too many treats every time you win!!!:)). But joking apart...I agree that obesity has to be tackled seriously; it's becoming too common, and it is unhealthy. // paul

I think Parents could do a little more to stem their kids from becoming Obese. Imagine what you could make with the monies spent in McDonald's for a family of four, and what you could buy for the same monies in a Supermarket!
