LUNCH

My mom made this jello
and it kinda makes me squirm.
It's blue like ocean waters
and filled with gummy worms.
YUCK! 

    What is the most disgusting food you can think of?  When I was in Japan the pizza had baby octopi on it and I was given a dish of green oyster innards to eat.  Can you try writing a food poem today about all the yuckiest foods you can think of?  Have fun being gross. 

Life is either a daring adventure or nothing.  --Helen Keller

LET'S GO FISHING

I like eating fish.
I like it a bunch.
I eat fish for dinner.
I eat fish for lunch.

I catch fish
on my fishing pole.
I catch fish 
in a net.
I like eating fish,
oh yeah, you can bet!

    Do you have a favorite food?  How do you make it or get it?  Can you write a food poem today?  Or, how many different kinds of fish can you name?  Can you write a list poem with all the fish you know?  Have fun writing.

SO HUNGRY

I'm so hungry
I could eat a bear.
My teddy says,
"Don't go there!"

I'm so hungry
I could eat a horse.
"Don't eat me!"
says my horse, of course.

I'm so hungry
I could eat a cow.
"If I'm eaten,
there's no milk, now."

I'm no longer hungry
Don't want to be fed.
I think I'll return
to my bed instead.


     This is not the first poem I've written about being hungry.  What kind of poem could you write to answer the question: How hungry are you?  What would you eat?  Have fun writing a food poem today.

BANANA SMILES

 

copyright 2014, Joy Acey

If I were a banana
here's what I would do,
I'd lay on my side
to smile at you.

     I'm being silly today and playing with my food.  Can you write a silly poem today?  Have fun.

Foods I HATE!

There are some foods

I do not like--

liver and onions

oysters and tripe.

The worst food

I ever ate,

make no mistake,

was my Aunt Bea's fruitcake.

I bit into it 

and got

a toothache.

     Can you write your own list poem of foods you do not like to eat?  Have fun.

Let's Eat

MONDAY when it's time

for a meal,

I smell the aroma

of cooking veal.

TUESDAY when I

grab my fork,

I'm looking for

some tasty pork.

WEDNESDAY I am

finger-lickin'

that's the day

I eat fried chicken.

THURSDAY I don't know

what to do.

Ragout? Fondu?

Or barbeque stew?

FRIDAY and

another dish,

It is the day,

I eat fish.

SATURDAY make

no mistake.

That's the day,

I eat steak.

SUNDAY is a holiday.

I go to see the ballet.

I do not eat pate.

It is the one day

when I have

an ice cream sundae.

     What is your favorite food?  Why?  How do you like to eat it?  Can you write a poem about it?  I'm hungry just thinking about all the good foods to eat.

Cinnamon Buns

In the morning
for a treat,
a cinnamon bun
I like to eat.
Warm and sticky
frosting drippy
YUMMY
cinnamon buns.
