     Thanks–I had no idea what to write for this prompt, so spent the morning looking at blogs written by/for anorexics. Scared the crap out of me.

   So interesting – the hunger artist is confused me thinks. Not a good craving. Well done as always, Susan.

   Anorexia and its terrible effects…
   You have painted a scary image, a kind of flying nightmare, good!

   ‘Hunger artist.’ Lovely and apt description. ‘Yon Cassius has a lean and hungry look.’ Stomachs must eat, Susan and I would rather be fat and jolly. (in a healhty way) :-). A fine and powerful Haiku.

    Good one. I like the line ‘hunger artist’ … maybe I feel sometimes such a artist, because I hope to become a wellknown author in my country. Have published two novels, but can’t live of it 🙂 meanwhile I continue my work as a oncology nurse.

      September 18, 2012 at 11:05 am

      Oh, I feel you!

    In some way, I think, there is a hunger artist lurking in each of us…

    Starve

      Yes–the inspiration for the longer poem yesterday.

    I have an eating disorder of the opposite variety 😛 My heart craves the heaviness of pizzas.
    • Susan L Daniels says:

      September 18, 2012 at 2:06 pm

      oh, me too, Leo 😉

    the hunger artist
    craves the lightness of beer
    without the drift of beer belly….*L*
