Food For Thought

Inspired by something I said once or twice... "My soul is a bowl of Oreos waiting to be dunked. If you don't have any milk, I can't be eaten by you."

 

 

 

My soul; a bowl of Oreos--
displayed on wooden arms,
smiling up at a plastic smile.

Circles; within a circle--
soft and white at center,
hard and dark on surface.

An open dish; giggling--
with thoughts of liquid white,
to drench and quench substance.

 

("My soul, a bowl of Oreos--
If you haven't any milk,

I can't be consumed by you.")

Now has quite a fascinating message using a interesting metaphor... I don't have time for those either that use ignorance as there education for they have nothing worth saying to me that ain't a waste of my time...

On a side note I agree with Blackbird Oreos without milk is sac-religious, we must consult the bible ;-)

This was a hoot. Very sensuous in an esoteric sort of way.
What does the milk symbolize? Why in a glass?
Not serious questions, just me overanalyzing. I tend to do.
Ran into you via PoetryBlogRanking . . . It's really great to meet anyone NOT on myspace - that place gives me eyestrain and migrain . . . Anyway, I've read a few of your others, and this one tickled me enough to give you high kudos on PBR.

This has a great message. And using oreos and milk is so cool with all those metaphors.

I have to agree with Rachael here; not only is it mentioned in the Bible, but I believe there is an obscure law on the books about oreos going about without milk. I loved the metaphor here; gotta have that substance - or you can't share my cookies! lol.

I love your description of Oreo's, milk and how oh so good they are when combined ;-)! Great, loved it Jenny! ~ Jude

Consuming to the core
liquid life
a mother's powder milk
lays rotting.

Spoiled dreams
found in the form of tears
and spilled milk

For my hunger
desires but one taste
of your Oreo soul

I loved this. I think the old expression was you can't just eat one. If not it should be damn it. LOL

Loved it

Great Job!!!!!

[An Ordinary Woman]

and I've always Oreos and I eat the filling first because it's soooo good. LOL I must say, I'm not a big milk drinker- unless I'm having oreos. lol Great writing, Jenny. I've read that little quote on your profile before and always thought, "Oh that's soo cute!"
