Last week at South Loop Poetry Club, we continued our study of the senses and read “Fried Chicken” by Kwame Alexander to inspire us to write about how tasty our favorite foods are. Please enjoy these delicious poems by our talented poets!
South Loop Poetry Club
a cakey whole
By Oliver G.
kids at a
campaign with
champagne they
spy with their
eye a cake made
with rye
but there is a
whole in the
world because the
kids world is the cake
sprinkles in the ceiling
frosting on the floor
and nothing more.
Da Bred and Nutella
By Zachary G.
Nothing hits the spot
Like Bread and Nutella
It’s as great as it
sounds
It’s a great snack
a sweet and delicious food
with not too much flavor
It is plain and easy to make
Food Heaven
By Navi R.
So tasty, so savory
Taking a bite is like eating heaven
The tangy taste, with a tint of yummy
spiciness
It’s chicken wings
Then, ramen, so tasty, rich, and flavorful
So yummy & savory, like I’m in a dream
But I’m living it
A food dream and a food heaven
Sushi
By George
Sushi
Sushi is tasty like tofu
on rice / yummy is the sashimi
Spicy, delicious, rich and fresh
make sushi
A Big Juicy One
By Annabel G.
All the Flavors mixed together,
Juicy, savory, fresh,
The patty,
The ketchup,
The lettuce,
all together,
You get the best food,
A HAMBURGER!
Itadakimasu – Let’s eat or yummy in Japanese
By Mia P.
So sweet
So sugary
So flavorful
Honeycomb ice cream
It gave me life
I saw heaven
I opened my eyes for the
first time.
Itadakimasu.
Greasy, rich, cheesy, stretchy.
Savor it / a hint of spice I get,
the more I eat I forget.
So delicious it’s Pizza.
~Itadakmasu~

By Audrey C.
Doughnut time is beautiful
flavorful and tasty and Tangy
make sure you buy your
doughnut time from dunkin dough-
nuts today also get a bucket
full of sprinkles. and a bucket

Spring Rolls
By Cole C.
It’s spring
I went to Ohio
Seeing my grandparents
It was night
They started cooking
the time they call me
Rolls came to me
I hold one of them
Hearing chrunching
I took a bite
So Flavorful…
Fresh in the freeze.
I Savored it
the vegetables
rich and sharp
So sweet.
The spring that came
was a front
over gates of heaven…
It… was a delicious batch of
spring rolls
