Scrumptious, nutritious, delicious. Watch your spelling. Also, comma after "nutritious."

If you rearrange the first line so that "long" is at the end, you can rhyme it with "smoking my bong" instead, which seems more appropriate, considering this poem. :|

Hey Gabe. Welcome to the site. Haven't seen you around much, alas- you shall be getting a friend request from me! Do not be alarm, I am just a friendly person. Hehe.

Okay, so the poem. I think this would constitute as a good beginning of a poem. It just seemed lacking vital substance. The theme- also the title, is a pretty dull- sorry, but yes, dull subject and I think it will take a little more than what you've done to pull it off. It's very basic, stuff here, and I don't think the poem does you justice.

I would suggest starting from the start. Firstly, read some poetry. Even if you're very well rounded on this topic, read it again. And then, perhaps look at the poets here. We've got some gems here, let me tell you. Oh and please, don't hesitate to PM me. I will reply, and help you in any way I can.

Try not to force your rhymes. Not sure if I agree with ProfessorRabbit's suggestion, because 'bong' is still very far removed from the theme. Most people actually prefer non-rhyming, from my experience. Just relax, pre-mediate what you're going to say, and write it. If it doesn't work, try again. No one gets it perfect first time. Many writers take years learning their craft, and you've got a head start. Now don't lose it!

Luck,

"It is a dull mind that can think of only one way to spell a word."



What really knocks me out is a book that, when you're all done reading it, you wish the author that wrote it was a terrific friend of yours and you could call him up on the phone whenever you felt like it. That doesn't happen much, though.
