Montaigne wrote an essay on Cannibalism
But he was not thinking of the literary kind.
Lately, having been ravaged by an uncontrollable
Hunger for poems to post, I have begun feasting
On a number of my haiku, being both salubrious
& delicious, not to mention efficacious. No one else’s
poems were hurt during the making of this poem.
The proof, they say, is in the pudding, which
I will set out before you to decide whether
Such a practice should occasionally be condoned.

thanks for your comment, Billy. I was about to take the post down. It isn’t, on the face of it, an appealing post. It may be a slow burner.

the funny thing is, Beth, I was so unsure of this post that I was about to take it down just as Billy Mac commented on it.

I know the feeling! Lol, don’t worry. No great writer ever became great by not being a trifle daring from time to time.
And it’s a good reminder, come to think of it. 😉 Thank you!

I guess it is, Beth. It applies to both of us. We have to be willing to take risks with our writing now and then. It what makes it worth reading 🙂

Agreed! If authors only wrote what people wanted to read, it would be a very boring world. Viva la ruffling feathers! :p
