Welcome to this weekend’s Suddendeath poetry challenge, Stuffed! Anyways, rules are as follows, write a poem in any style using the five words that I give you. Write it in one sitting or in under an hour (only to quash your inner editor, rules are loose there). Add it here, OR link in a comment so we can enjoy each other’s' poems. The words can be in any plurality or tense. Today’s words are: food, eat, stuffed, large, nap
My entry is always, below:
---------------------------------------------------------------------
I stuffed my face
I won that race
to who could nap first.
So much food to eat
so many people to meet,
I think my tummy may burst.
The bird was large,
to my mouth the fork did charge,
overeating I now curse!

To look upon you
To see your lithe form
Is food to the starved
Is mana for my very soul
The rise and fall
Of your chest as you nap
Is air to my own lungs
Is blood to my own heart
Then your eyes flutter
Those large deep pools
They consume me, eat me
Draw me within your love
For so long I was a scarecrow
Aimless, stuffed with straw
But now I live
And breathe
And love
You

What an amazing use of the given words, and certainly another unique direction. I loved this.

Why thank you, but I did try to make it base enough that it could be used by those who don't celebrate the holiday

EATS
Mister stuffed bull dog sits comically
Forever living on the tin dollhouse
he smirks as humans cram food in
the large dining table once a display in a card shop
wishing he could smack his belly with a paw
he naps, his eyes open, intent on the final black olive.

She loved to eat;
She thought food was neat.
when not having a nap;
There was always a full plate on her lap.
She stuffed herself, and then got fat;
Then realized, she couldn't live with that.
Looking in the mirror, she said - no to large;
For the first time in her life she decided to take charge.
