Fare

What needs be fed
the heart or the head
and how should we know
where to find the best bread?

For the flashiest deal
advertised as a steal
will never deliver
a well-rounded meal.

  1. A worthy question, I think... perhaps you could expand this and give us the answer? But, even if left rhetorical, and we're abandoned to our own devices, it needs to be posed.

    I like the rhythm and the manner in which it cuts to the chase. Plus, the pace is so consistent throughout, it almost sounds like a song.

    Nicely done.

  2. me thinks it would be neat
    if both head and heart could eat
    but where indeed to find
    food for heart and mind

    What I first grasped was your double take on the title. I also agree with Bob...perhaps you should consider writing songs. ;)
