I enter literary competitions when i find ones I like. Some are so strict it tends to put me off trying. Anyway here is a poem I wrote for a food charity called SECOND BITE. It is a food bank that gathers extra / leftover food and goods to redistribute to the food vans on our streets or for mainstream charities.

Food
For thought
For the mind
The soul
Nourishment
Survival
Energy
Eaten -With hands
Fingers
Fork, knife or spoon
Chopsticks
Mouths
Food can be philosophical, spiritual, excessive, salivating, sweet, sour, acidic or alkaline
It is the one thing man relies upon
Yet has no knowledge of where it came from.
