Chicken Wing
by Ed Meek
Just a simple, complex thing.
I am just a chicken wing.
I flap and flop until I'm fried,
Baked, broiled, or grilled outside.
Then fingers pull me apart.
Teeth gnarling on my bones inside.
Licking fingers, licking lips.
Reaching for another in their grip.
After all is said and done.
Tossing my remains in the garbage drum.

[ Analysis ]
To understand this poem, I needed to think deeply. The main matter of this poem is the chicken wing. In this poem, the chicken wing is torn by people's fingers and teeth. The description that explains that people tear chicken wing off with their fingers and teeth, shows the cruelness of people. Also in the beginning of this poem, it says "Just a simple, complex thing". This means that people's ignorance towards animals is considered as a simple thing, but actually it's a complex problem. The narrator of this poem is the chicken wing, and this shows how much the chicken wing feels sorrowful. The last part, "Tossing my remains in the garbage drum", shows that after people eat or kill animals, they just do not care about the animals. The last part shows the cruelness of people most extremely.

I think this poem is very simple but has a lot in it. I agree with you that this poem shows the cruelness of the human. However, I also believe that what is done to chicken wing is not only done to chicken; it reflexs to human's nature. I think humans are doing the tearing and eating to each others too. When humans want something, they will do anything, even tearing and ruinning others life.

I agree with Andrea, I believe this poem reflects more than just animal awareness, but human nature and it's cruelty.
I agree with Andrea and Mrs. Emery. This poem was somewhat simple, but then it had enormous meanings in it describing the sad ending of the chicken(US!). It reminded me how to think more about the people around me and how i should be respectful to them.
