I absolutely agree with your poem's message! I might not have used the word "turds," but it works. You got the syllable count right, as well. Thank you so much for sharing, and best wishes to you.

Thanks! I was going for a negative visceral reaction, however based on your comments I have updated the piece. (Why the site allows us to do this between entering and voting, I don't know, but since it does, I did). Love to hear what you think of the second version.

I liked the first version fine, but I like the new version too. I?m not a real poet, so you shouldn?t listen to me

I'm not a real poet either (more like a terrorist on this site) so I take advice from non-poets : )

This was a fun poem. I don't think I've ever tried a plantain. Won't now! Very creative and you say so much with just three lines. Good luck in the contest.

They are good if you cook them, just not raw! Thanks very much.
