WRITING SAMPLE - POEM TITLED, "FOOD DRAMA"
Interviewer:
“What is your name?”
“Lettuce.”
“Why so wilted, Lettuce?”
“Because I am alone –
my ensemble collapsed.”
“What happened?”
“Tomatoes walked out
unhappy with
their portions -
they desired more
in the mix
Cucumbers were afraid
of the drama
so they walked
out on the job
Cheese could not
handle a twosome
just lettuce and cheese –
the cheesy message was
‘Call us if you have more.’
So here I sit
wilted in despair.”
Meanwhile back on the ranch –
here comes Ranch dressing
to dress down the crew
He poured it on thick
Ranch calls for order
and says to one and to all
“We are a unit,
come together, will ya’ll?!
United, we mix
apart we are tossed
Come on, troopers –
let us be salad.”
There is a meeting
of the flavors -
foolishness is pushed aside
They forge an unbreakable bond
as they all jump in the bowl
Interviewer:
“It’s a wrap, folks –
Pardon me while I partake of
the new and improved salad bar.”
