Snacktime Sonata Challenge Winners
Well, your Snacktime Sonatas made us hungry, and that’s about the highest compliment we have. Food — taste, smell, sensation — is a powerful conduit to the past, to memories pleasurable and painful and sometimes bittersweet, a mixture of comfort and challenge. Congratulations to Penny Fuller for Sativa — it’s a first win for Penny — a hymn to the “secret, unbounded/freedoms” of fresh peas in the pod. The narrative voice of the poem doesn’t really want to be outside, but finds joy in the green things of the earth; this is a lovely work of resilience.

I think this is my favourite entry so far
Perfect poem and topic for this challenge, Paul! Well done! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
It's a good thing that I don't like reality TV. But I loveeee your poem!
Reality TV can be such a time-hole! Great poem, Paul!
So true. There's nothing "real" about reality TV, it's all scripted entertainment.
Pretty close to my feelings about much of reality tv.
I had to read that twice to acknowledge, that yep, that's what he said...hahahaha!! Hilarious and so true. Great one!!
I will avoid the pitfalls of analyzing the first half of this poem LOL! I snort-laughed when I read it! What a nut! You are spot on with the second half! Nicely done, Paul!
Oh, man, I laughed! Love where you went with this one, Paul!
Totally agree! Complete waste of energy and time!! Great job! 💕
