Heat Rises -- A Fluff Poem

Heat Rises


This was a class write tonight that we needed to complete in four minutes. Thought I would share. The prompt was “Heat Rises.”


The bell rings
Ring the bell
Heat rises
The smell of
Brandy carrots
Pork tenderloin
Jasmine rice
I can taste it
The heat rising
Coming to a head
My hunger palapable
Unmanageable
The bell rings
Ring the bell
Stop the alasm
The brandy carrots
Pork tenderloin
Jasmine rice
And don’t forget
Luscious chocolate brownies
Served warm
Over vanilla bewan ice cream
Rich fudge sauce
Heat
Heat rises
My tongue anticipating
Savory gifts galore
Satisfying and filling
Urgent anxiety
Comfort food
Settling
Settling
Filling that hole
That massive hole
