I am a hungry beast. No, I am not a folktale legend like those who live in caves; now am i one of your Disney-movie characters. I am a beast of fod, of meat and carbs, rice and desserts-- and i might even be said to possess multiple stomachs. I am hungry, understand, simply because people refuse to feed me. Like the starving animals you see sometimes in zoo exhibitions, it is as though I have been deprived of food and gazed at by people's wide eyes and dropped jaws. When they watch me they see only my filled mouth, emptying plate, and remains of dinner-- indeed, everything and anything in my stomach.

this describes who you are. i love how it flows together and is a summary of how your stomach is growling everyday because it wants food all the time. its an interesting piece...

haha oh chanel, what a great way to describe yourself. really great use of an extended metaphor and a bit of a hyperbole. I forgot how funny and clever you are. I definitely know that most people don't expect that out of tiny little you. aha

This post is extremely clever and fun to read. Your use of imagery enables the reader to picture every situation in his or her head. In addition, we are all able to relate to the feeling of hunger and the situations you described in a number of ways. It brought a smile to my face.

Somehow I am not surprised by this but find it funny none the less. I now see you in a new light, somewhat like a cow but I think that is okay. Very nice construction of sentences too.

I liked how you took the beginning of Native Son and incorporated it into a poem that seems to fit your personality. I have one question though, does your poem start out as you being a hungry beast, and then by the end of the poem, have you completely satisfied with the meal you scoffed down? Other than that, I believe this poem deserves an A+; nice work Chanel.
