Yes, I've noticed how food is usually in your poetry, tempered with exercise as well. This was quite a rambling Free Style that covered the gamut of thought. I think it was a fine Ode.

A very well-written ode to food. Food is important in out lives it keeps us strong and alive, athough I do not always like fast foods because it most of the time make me feel sick.

As a self-declared "foodie", I have to give you six stars for this delightfully enthusiastic rah-rah poem!
Brilliant to have a cheerleader's "Gimme an F, gimme an O, etc." ... luv it!
Once again, dear Alicia, you have stepped outside of the box and have come up with something unique, yet so YOU!
Food is a wonderful thing, and we are soOOO lucky to have an abundance of it to choose from. Fantastic job on this write! Now give me something good to eat. :)
Hugs,
Connie

Hi Alicia -
You did a great job on your ode to food. I just see one little typo:
Obsessed - you just have an extra s in there.
Final stretch for NaPo... keep up the great work!

Hi Alicia. Loved your poem because I'm a "foodie." I love food, but consciously keep my weight down to a nice comfortable poundage. Too much is no good.
This is a well written piece that's humorous, but contains good advice, too. Enjoy but in moderation and try all kinds of foods, cooked all different ways.
Favorite lines:
"Tasty foods are not a weakness
And can bring us out of bleakness"
So true. We need to treat ourselves sometimes.

Hi Alicia. Thank you for that link and thinking of me. My meals are very simple vegetarian, mostly roasted veggies and soups. I don't cook complicated dishes anymore. I used to cook all the Italian dishes as my husband was first gen-Italian. I do like my desserts, though. Just go out and have limited sweets or I'd overdose on them. LOL! Marilyn

Thank you for your good advice about food--especially more of the raw variety! I liked your rhymes and your cheers and above all your reminder to enjoy eating--one of the easiest pleasures in life. Big smiles- Joan

Hi, excellent poetry and very attractive. I liked the colourful presentation and I guess the food you cook is the best and appetizing. You applied a unique and creative style of descriptive. Rare gift hey! All the best.

It makes me hungry just thinking about it. Even with just two like there is in our house, cooking can be a bind, but this artwork is lovely, the fours are amazing, and it looks so healthy. Well done Alicia, blessings, Roy

Comment from Dolly'sPoems
I loved this Alicia! This is a lot of fun and of course food is close to all our hearts! We love food glorious food, I loved this part of the poem:
Food is auspicious, if you want it to be
Food is nutritious, if you want it to be
Gimme an "F"
Gimme an "O"
Gimme another "O"
Gimme a "D"
What does that spell?
FOOD...
Boil it
Steam it
Don't always fry it
Sautee your food
Stirfry it too
Bake it
Broil it
Whatever you decided to do
Enjoy eating your food
Because food's great for you.
Love Dolly x
