Word and Question poem

Enbrethiliel organised another W&Q and I tried a senryu this time.

My word: Drums
My question: Who's at the door?

(picture was taken to accompany this poem and is entirely set-up just as the poem is. Yes: I know what you're thinking Demented Wench!)

Drums pounding loudly
Who's at the door so early?
My mistake: Hangover

Word and Question Poem

Because of me moving house and everything I totally forgot writing a poem for the Word & Question game over at Shredded Cheddar.
Luckily Enbrethiliel reminded me as I had a really cool question.

So here's my poem (and it rhymes this time too):

***
The sun was shining bright
Not a cloud in sight

So we wanted to go on a trip
By car or bicycle or maybe on a ship

Where to go, what to do
Something fun for me and you

Let’s go to a farm, I said
We’ll bring lemonade and bread

Feed the ducks and milk a cow
It will be great, let’s go now

I know a farm, you cried
Great, lead the way, I replied

So on our way we went
With food, drinks and even a tent

But after a trip with lots of sunshine
We were suddenly stopped by a canine

And a guard with a big gun
If I’d had the courage I would have run

What are you doing on Parchman Farm?
The guard said
Leave here quickly or you might end up dead

So we ran on home, barely escaping harm
Next time I get to pick the farm!
***

Word: Sunshine
Question: What are you doing on Parchman Farm?

My Attempt at Poetry

Enbrethiliel of Shredded Cheddar organised a poetry game where everyone got a word and a question and should try to make a poem with it.

My word: Epicurean
My question: What is the meaning of existence?

I had fun trying to come up with something, but it was hard as I'm not very good at writing poetry.
Here's my final result:

Humans always look for answers
Hunger for more, hunger for higher
Trying to find joy in another life
By striving for eternity
Not living for today, but living for later

Is there meaning in existence
If you can't find meaning
In the true moment of now?

Animals don't try to find the reason of being
They have already found it
By taking life one step at the time
Enjoying each moment when it's there
With epicurean joy
