Replying to a comment on:

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

That is to say there is no debate over whether to show or whether to tell. The poet is supposed to communicate something. How can she communicate what she means when she forsakes the precision of image for the vagueness of abstract terms.
