Written for: dVerse Poets Pub – Quadrille #97 – Filling The Page
(posted by whimsygizmo)
“This week, I’d like you to find some poetic fun with the word fill.
What will you fill your page with? Some fulfilling verse? A stable of frolicking fillies? Fill a bucket. Fill a hole. Get your fill, or fill your soul. Take us on a trip to the dentist to get a filling. We’ll even let you get away with fillet, if the words are delicious enough.”
I’m so full, could not
possibly eat another
bite, she says reaching
for the last Boston cream–
filled donut.
You know, dear, those
donuts are extremely rich.
You know what cream
does to your stomach.
No, Mom, but I’m sure
you will tell me.
I love it! How many times I have heard that statement in various forms. Guilty pleasures are a necessary part of life! Well done!

It has been many years since I ate one of those, but as I recall they were tasty.

The only filled donut I really like is jelly.
