Best Buffet Poems

A Lyrical Chef we'll call 'Dre',
whips up Writes for her Poem buffet.
She bakes Words into Rhyme
and roasts Prose in the time
it takes most just to cook a Cliché!

my Soup buddy Andrea Dietrich. 
Thank you for your positive

10,000 people gathered on the beach that day
as he entered the stage wearing sandals he'd say, 
"WOW!  look at YOU  come to lend a hand"
Then he grabbed his guitar to strike up his  band

Ten thousands strong held their drinks in the air

Moonlit Buffet
 
Is that laughter I hear
 floating about in the air
 or the cooing of the breeze
 as it teases the willow
 to dance with giggling glee
 before the sun sounds
 its final drum beat
 and night descends
 ------------ 

Inhale deeply…..
 drown peacefully

Miss Muffet was a girl of thirteen, filled with youth's beauty and charm;
And a love of vibrant life zealous, like eager, vivid thunder of blue alarm.

She was a fine student, pert and popular; like the primrose popularity;
Or stars appearing at the designated hour, sparkling like...

America is not a Free Buffet
Loch David Crane, M. Ed.

America is not a free buffet
for benefit of those from far away.
We have our borders, customs, laws, and rules
securing our posterity from fools,
criminals, diseased people, and those
who mean us harm and carry...

To start - fresh salsa with chips;
then that combo plate:
Cheesy enchiladas, beans,
and beef tamales
smothered all in sauce.
Mine’s wicked

What happened to the nearby pizza buffet?
They have pulled up their stakes and moved away.
For a meal, what they offered was not bad.
On the menu was pizza, soup, dessert, and salad.
Apparently, their operations were not showing a profit.
Because of this, they have decided to quit.
There...

Life is a never ending series
Of highs and a bunch of lows
Where we're heading, what lies ahead
We really don't want to know

Let it all be a big surprise
We're just along for the ride
Some make a lasting impression on folks
Some don't as hard as they try

Some...

We tried something different this year
A Thanksgiving day buffet
I really like the leftovers though
So I lined my pockets with cellophane

To justify my actions
As I stood in line
With the twenty bucks I was paying  
Would a little take out be such a crime

Being a master...

Arabic labelling on bottles of water,
Room overlooking bricks and mortar,
Men want tips for being your porter,
Getting to food is a pitiless slaughter.

Piles of olives and eggs sit just right,
In bowls coloured an abyss of white,
Odd cuisine makes a peculiar sight,
This is the date I’ll be...

I must say a bewildered chill ran down my back
When I learned the gigantic billions you throw to charity,
A big heart that only the heavens could endow,
That resonates with a compassion for those in depravity
And to them that circumstances have dealt a blow.

Ninety-nine percent of...

young hummingbird bush
has yet to bloom – still they fly…
     taste of spring in the air

sweet nectar is sipped
from the daffodil trumpets…
     wings fluttering fast

irises in sight
colorful birds visit them…
     bellies still not...

By Elton Camp

The manager saw Gordo nearing the café
“Hide the all-you-can-eat sign,” he did say

Gordo had been to his place before
He didn’t want to serve him anymore

Three hundred pounds is his weight
It’s astonishing the amount he ate

Due to how much food he put away
They lost...
