"Would you like to nibble at some poetry? Add the word or form of the word, nibble to your poem of 44 words, not including the title. A culinary theme is fine but certainly not required. There are many things to nibble on."


Dogs nibble Kibble.
Some throw half-eaten
nibbles all over
the floor.  No cleanup
for them.

Chocolate is not
for nibblers.  It needs 
to be savored in squares.

How silly it would be
to quibble over a nibble
on which you have just
dribbled.

I hope to touch a nerve in you, and feel your sparks as well.

    Nice poem Sara. I especially agree with the second stanza – there is no nibbling on chocolate.

    This made me laugh out loud!!! I am dog sitting an adorable 2 1/2 year old poodle named Rooney. When he heard me laughing, he barked.
