well at least this one I 'get' dear - maybe I'm just thick. Ok - we all have to work for a living - got it. But what are your feelings about that? :)S

This is an interesting poem. I like the theme of working, and how you expressed it. I love the word choice. It has a nice flow.

Hello, Poet

I enjoyed your short poem this evening about work.
Indeed. We must all work to survive.

If I had one suggestion it would be to change out Work in line three for something else that has to work. Toil and work seem redundant, and given the very few words in the poem, each one has to be effective.

If only I limited my hunger for survival. How trim and fit I would be! Nice job of sharing thoughts on this topic with minimal words that invoke thoughtfulness. T2

I really enjoyed your 5-7-5 about how we all must toil. It reminds me of the verse that states, 'Go to the ant, thou sluggard." On your background it looks like the word [dimensions] was cut off. -Steve

"Hungry? Natural,
For survival, you must toil,
Work; birds, ants and all."
a profound piece of poetry and food for thought!
thank you for sharing!

Your poem is in good 5/7/5 form
Good use of question to draw the reader in
I like the proximate rhyme of toil/all
and you convey a message that's hard to argue with - we all have to work to survive and nourish ourselves, even the birds and ants know this

Hooray. One that finally makes sense to me. This relates to every living creature man, animal, insect, bird...we must all toil and work hard to hang in there and survive.
We only get OUT of life what we put IN to it.
Kind of like our poetry...This one was quite good and I definitely think this is good advice to put in the Book for Mankind. Good luck.

another interesting and unusual and original style of writing,again in the 5-7-5 style although it does seem unfair that this writer is paying his way to the top of the listings, the irony of which is his examination of human nature and it's various faults
