Cold Turkey (Free verse) by johnnyfontaine23

Cold Turkey, Relish...... Bread for the Soul Stale Buttered and battered Red Tomato paste Oozing Injected Satisfaction A great feed

I love it...there's an irony about the title (i would guess this was intentional, and, if so, witty)...

great choice of adjectives....simple poem about a simple pleasure in life and very poetic in description...i personally really like the choice of "injected" to symbolize the act of eating, as though it's not really your choice (and it's not!) to eat, it must be injected into you as a prerequisite to survival...your bread is stale even---but you're grateful for the meal you're eating...

again...i love it...9...and a 9 only cuz i rarely give out tens (what is perfection anyway?)

great poem - keep it up

peace,

sean
