Hunger (Free verse) by Dovina

(Imagine a single line of text in a circle that you have to turn as you read - the word “Hunger” at the center. You can’t determine where to start, so start reading anywhere.) I am hungry You present me a plate of food Sensations arise I see food, smell it, anticipate eating it Volition comes into use I pick up utensils I indulge in the pleasure of eating As my stomach fills, desire decreases My mind turns to other desires New sensations Mental formulations arise

It has only one circular line and may not, by your definition (which I disagree with) be free verse. I’m not big on categories anyway, except the old ones – sonnet, villanelle, etc. Show-don’t-Tell, the ancient war rages.
