I'm eating desert when I spy something new,
Something that makes my head go askew.
The last thing I wanted to see today,
Is sitting on my plate and it's needless to say.
I'm afraid.
I drop my spoon,
And run out of the room.
I feellike I'm about to burst;
For I am most definately fearing the worst.
I'm afraid.
I can feel death creeping near,
Though people would think there is nothing to fear.
I run to the bathroom and kneel on one knee;
For any person it's easy to see:
I'm afraid.
I spit it all into the bowl;
My stomach feeling like one big hole.
I made sure I had swallowed none;
The risks would be worth a ton.
I'm afraid.
I was relieved to know none was swallowed,
But then my stomach hallowed.
I feel a sudden hint of fear;
Knowing that death was very near.

Yahaha! I liked this, it's unique alright! You made it rhyme too! I can't make things rhyme for the life of me! Great job, I loved it! But of course, you might want to comb for mistakes...
Pretty good... The grammar and spelling were better than usual, and I did enjoy reading this. I agree with David though, unless you posted that comment this could easily be taken for a poem that's supposed to be funny. I'd better use all the extra depression in my life to come up with some deep diving darkness to beat you in Mehrina's contest, huh? :p Good work, I hope to read more soon.
This is very good and I actually thought it was funny until I read your comment about being allergic to berries. I thought you were talking about vegetables. lol
I like the way you keep repeating the phrase, "I'm afraid." It gives the poem real emphasis.
