Just One More Dumpling

Just one more dumpling, and I'll be cool No don't give up, it's way too soon Heavy dreariness in the room I was never ready for this nauseating mood All I have All is here All is well All is happy All is great All is smiles All is care All is gratitude But just one more dumpling made me sick Sick to the bone Sick in the heart. God of gluttony Forgive me I know I'm not meant to be this free But there is something that I really need So let me, to be happy But I can't stop Here comes a lotus petal Drenched in the honey I'm going to explode But I can't stop. I'm happy I have it all Seeing anything happy for me is gold Let's just wait One more day To let this feeling go away This feeling that I would But wish not that I should To have that one more bite Of dumpling out of everyone's sight But at the end of today Everyone will go away And I shall fade out of their minds So is this why we should seize the day? The dollar bills Bills so tight They mean nothing to me Let them fly Across the bridge Across the room Across the sunset I see at noon In the sky, In which I say, oh my oh my Here's another one Lost in the breeze I would wheeze And end with a faint But delicate, painful sigh.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.

Great list Reenie,, Welcome to Poetry soup, I hope you enjoy the community. Here, you will find friendly poets who enjoy supporting one another. I myself, enjoy reading and commenting those who want to be read. The only time I give constructive criticism is when a poet desires it. However, if for some reason the poem is not my field I will guide you to someone who is more qualified than I. Stop by and read one of my poems if you like. My poems are not perfect, but I have a feeling you might like one. I encourage you to check out the contest page and read to receive comments. Tell me a little about your poetic skills if you like. It will be my pleasure to follow and read every poem you post from here on :) We are Lucky To Have you. Your New Poet Friend @-> LINDA <-@
