I'm back to writing a poem every day, whether they stink or not.

Hunger

My hunger is like a bell struck underwater.
I feel it on every shore, and every swiming thing
inside me darts about nervous and alert.

All the foods seem to ring me longer and I keep eating.

Every time I see you I walk away vibrating.

This is stunning Eric. I thought there was one line that was weaker, but the poem as a whole is brilliant.

All the foods seem to ring me longer and I keep eating. (this line seems weaker than the rest)
