Brigitte,
I like the onomatopoeia in the first line and the internal and end rhyme
in the last two. These words tell us how the hungry feel when they can get food at a food bank so they don't have to stay hungry.
Keep writing and stay healthy.
Joan

Wonderful social commentary on the plight of being poor and the wonderful gift of food banks. Good use of the 5-7-5 form. I especially like the image that goes with it. Enjoyed reading it.

    Thank you for reading. It is difficult to tell a tale with so few words. Our economic times prompted this write.


    Have a blessed day.

It must be awful to have hunger growling and roaring but no money for food. Although this is short (I know it is meant to be) I found it quite powerful. Well crafted.

This was interesting in that you rhymed the last two lines, and it created a jingling, ringing effect. It was sort of a combination between haiku and more formal rhymed English couplets, and that's what got my attention. The subject matter is pretty deep and probably better in a short story. estory

    Yes, the subject matter is deep. Today's plight of many should be a problem for all. Thank you for reading and your insightful comments.

    Have a great evening.

Interesting timing. Our local food pantry was seeking donations at the grocery store this past weekend. Indeed many families do depend on such help.
