The Problem With Porridge

Comment from Sally Law
Ah, Debra, your rhyming porridge explosion is just too much fun! I love the pic too, it really is a mess. So sorry... but I know how it goes. I returned the oatmeal to the saucepan. Works better.
Sending you my best today as always for this delightful poem.

Lol. Thanks for sharing the frustrations in a humorous poem, Debra! Good to see you back and I hope you will join us in the Napowrimo this year if you have time!
Oh, and I researched this problem and there is a suggestion to use a chopstick on the top of the bowl (using a bigger bowl helps, too) but you still have to watch it like a hawk!

Comment from Bill Schott
This poem, The Problem with Porridge, seems to point to the modern attempt to microwave, say, oatmeal, and get that bowl you enjoyed in your youth. Trade the microwave in for a time machine or get Porridge-in-a-Bag. : )

I guess porridge is something like cream of wheat or oatmeal and grows with us when it's cooked. I enjoyed your poem very much. You did a wonderful job with rhyming it. Have a good day and God bless. Patricia.

You're going to think I'm mean, but I'm happy (between commas) to read this. I thought I was the only one who had this problem...
As usual, your poem is a pleasure to read. And a lot of fun.
Thanks for sharing.x

I hate when that happens. Haha. I don't like porridge, but other food items boil over. You chose an unexpected subject to write about in rhyme, and made it humorous. Your picture pairs perfectly with your words. I look forward to reading more.

L o l I know it's terrible but porridge time she can't even get away with a quick cook! Very clever poem I enjoyed it quite a bit thank you very much!
I see no issues with spelling or sentence structure subject matter Or any issues at all. This is very clever and very well put together poem! I must say there's a lot of talent here I mean it becomes difficult to provide Comments or suggestions for change when it's also very good!
It's a great submission I wish you the best of luck and have a great day!

Comment from Sandra Stoner-Mitchell
LOL! Have you tried using a larger bowl? I hate it when things overflow in the microwave, it's a devil to clean it off. I do like a big bowl of porridge, but not those bags you put in the micro. I like it made from scratch in a saucepan. I liked your fun poem, my friend. Well done. I hope you are well? Love and hugs, Sandra xx

Comment from Jim Wile
Hey, Debra, this is really good! It takes a while to get the timing right. I usually just use a bigger bowl to cook it in!
This was a great rhyming poem with perfect meter too. It was light and humorous and the kind of poetry I love--in contrast to some of the dark and depressing stuff that's common here. I look forward to more of your poems. Jim
