Leftover
you have taken your piece
from the middle and now
only edges and angles remain
hard parts, rough crust
crumbs of myself, really
not enough to keep, I wish
you had finished, if only
you had thought
to have eaten me whole

so intense-wow.
Love this one! Very good take on the prompt, with some hard edges, for sure.
I like your interpretation of this strange image...
Wow - this one really brought some intense feelings out in me - very, very good Susan!
Scary shadow!
Great!
Although a completely unique take on the prompt, this piece conveys a relationship, a situation familiar to many. I appreciate how art and allusion can so aptly illustrate many a human condition.
Hmmm. This reminds me of all the people who eat the pizza and leave the crust. I love a good pizza crust. Appreciating the edges and the angles and the hard parts of a personality is not always easy, but often worth the effort.
Nicely done! Made me think in a very different way.
i keep picturing that office holiday cake from Costco...

Taking from the middle, the heart .. leaving the rest!
Great interpretation of that photo ... Happy Holidays.
This is probably my favorite so far. Great line breaks, words, and rhythm. Love it.
