Eating Money

Eating money PSH

Some people
Become consumed
With money

Thinking that money
Can buy happiness
Money can buy love

But one
Can not eat money
Not really

Money does not taste good
As you eat the paper
Getting sick

The money goes down
Your throat
And you become one
With your money
This poetry writing prompt was submitted by Robert Wynne:
Do you like surrealism? I’d like you to think of an inedible inanimate object. Now think about how you’d eat it. Then write a poem describing in detail how you would eat (or are eating) it. Do not say why you are eating it, just how. The poem ends when the thing is eaten. Simple as that.
If you write a poem from this prompt, post it as a comment underneath the prompt in the poetry super highway Facebook group.
