Another Bite

This is a post for Magpie Tales' blog challenge. This is my first trying this out, and I'm not much of a poet, so I apologize in advance.

Another bite…

It’s so small really.
Barely enough to make a meal of.

Another bite…

These spoons are so tiny.
You can hardly call these proper mouthfuls at all.

Another bite…

Don’t stop, you’ve had a good deal already.
What’s just a small taste more?

Another bite…

That gurgle is your stomach hungry for more.
There is no acid creeping up your throat.

Another bite…

But they have all gathered here! Just for you!
See! The candles have been lit for this moment.

Another bite…

Complaints? Those would be rude.
There will be none of that.

Another bite…

Do you really think you can stop it now?
Do you really think you can leave it so easily?

Another bite…

See? It’s not too terrible.
You’ll get used to the taste soon.

Just…

Another…
