Love your sense of humor and the way you express it. Well written. I anticipated somewhat of an apology or at least a justification to the poor calf. Loved your ending though. It is life and survival! Thanks for sharing!

:(

ahhhhhh.... Well... I can only imagine the horrible happiness that is abounding in the reviews over that last line... and as I KNOW You, and know that you are a vegan/vegetarian... non-meat eater... ugh... I can only imagine that this was written with tongue in cheek and meant as MORE of a statement than pure humor... in fact, it's not funny at all...

so... other than THAT....
let me say, first off...

it's GREAT to see you. I've missed you.
Your good buddy, Kim and I have become buds, she's awesome and I just love her, and why not? She has a wicked sense of humor, she's intelligent and she's an awesome writer! (of course!) but I MISS you!

And that photo... well, it's disgusting. :(

but... your writing, is, as always, top Grade A Prime .... yeah... that. ugh

lol
in other words... We can eat your words, but I'm not eating that raw meat... I don't do veal. EVER. bleh

*shivers*

great poetry though and great to see you Craig.

Prime - lol! BAD kitty!
TY so much for the lovely review Cat. I decided to grant myself a weekend off - or half of one, anyway :)
You know me too well, the last line was definitely meant to be taken with more than a grain of salt.
I'm glad you and Kim are buds - two of my fav people on here :)
Great to hear from you! muah.

Excellent

A thought provoking poem. Food for thought! Almost makes you want to be a
vegetarian. The rhyming was good and I like how you used the word"mate".

Wow I love this poem and the form you have used, telling us reader in your dreams you have had this strange awakening. Being Australian myself the language is so sweet to my ears and the imagery is amazing. I trust the lamb no longer visits? for do he? So well written and so refreshing is your work.

Hi Jeffers :) Always nice to meet a fellow Aussie. Thanks so much for the lovely review, and the wonderful rating! To be honest (dobbing myself in here) I virtually never remember any dreams I have; but I do like the device of using a dream to describe my thoughts - it's one I have used more than once before. Again, thanks so much for enjoying my poem. Craig.
