I can see why you probably had a dream like this. You went to bed hungry. This happens also when you go to the supermarket hungry. You buy what you need along with everything else. Thanks for sharing this humorous and well written work. Well done!

Yes, it was not only funny, but incredibly creative. I thought the rhymes were fun as well. The meter was not so precise, but everything worked together well. It seemed like reading a salad, which is never too precise, or peering into a vegetable drawer. I liked it. Best of luck in this contest.

This makes me think of a column I wrote about eating raw food. The raw foodies believe foods have a spirit and they know they are meant to be eaten. It's just that cooking hurts them and they prefer to meet their fate by being eaten raw. A friend "bakes" her apple pies in the rear window of her car so as to not upset the apples with too much heat. I am not making this up and your poem did make me laugh. A lot!

You're making me hungry. I want some of those mashed potatoes and frilly carrots with tomatoes and cheese. Yum! Thanks for a fun read. Best of luck in the contest.

Hmm. My dreams would be quite different! Your excellent poem makes it clear that your preference is for veggies. I'm a guy, so my dreams never include green peppers.
By the way, although I didn't notice whimsy, your poem, I'm sure, can make vegetarian mouths wate, if not laugh.

A good chuckle - but then came the mashed potatoes, climbing into the dates. That stopped me. I liked the dripping canteloupe, the sliding avacado (that's all their good for, in my opinion, is to slide around looking green) - I'd top the whole lot with whipped cream - nothing's amiss with w. cream on top.

Hello, Author... I think this is a really cute entry for the Laughter contest. If I might leave one suggestion it would be to move the word, 'of' on the third line from the bottom, to the beginning of the next line. It reads that way anyhow. Also, you need to fix the font to include the first letter in the poem. A little glitch! :)
A fun poem for the contest! Good Luck! :)

Boy.... Am I hungry!

I loved your descriptions! They were deliciously satisfying.

"meticulously detailing swirls and whorls" ... a great picture!

Best of luck in the Laughter writing prompt contest.

I did laugh, and it made me very hungry! A lot of that food goes into Mexican food, which is my all-time favorite. You wrote it so well, with all the great adjectives describing the food. Fun poem!
