Man Food

"Man Food"

What's that smell
That makes me turn my head?
Crusted ice
Folded in cardboard bread.

We love things
We can pop in our mouth.
Domestic treasures
At Tim Collagen's house.

Hot dogs and candy bars
Brews in tall dark glasses.
Typical dining
With orange bows surrounding delicate cheeses.

Crispy with textures
anything on a cracker.
sausage filled pastures
For the trail blazing snacker.

Consuming to live
Moistening from within.
It's hunger that drives
and mankind's on a binge...

    I loved this before reading it, when I came across the title, I said to myself, this sounds really good. Man Food, life genre; I got excited!

    I really love both the message and your way of conveying it. I was set off just a little bit by the flow, it would be much better with some punctuation tricks, but that's only me! Also I humbly believe that it would be better to break this line:

    With orange bows surrounding delicate cheeses.

    into

    With orange bows
    surrounding delicate cheeses.

    ^ or anything.

    Nevertheless, I found this to be very powerful, and thought-provoking. One of those poems that make you sit back for a short while and wander in thoughts about reality.

    Simple terminology with a strong impact! nothing can be better.

    Thanks for sharing.
