Greetings, Jacky ! Thank you for entering "The Writer's Cramp - Poetry Week" !

Prompt: Your prompt is to write about a meat-eater who visits such a restaurant (due to the insistence of his/her vegetarian friend.)

You followed the prompt nicely.

I liked this very much. I like how you refer to the food as grass and the lump. And the part where you wrote

I know I said I liked “vegan.”
But everybody lies!

The things we do and/or say, right??? We're just being polite and trying to get along, lol. It's a good lie...

Very enjoyable. I suppose this tells us not to make a judgement on certain foods until we try them, right? I've yet to try tofu. I like real cheeseburgers! But... I would try it if someone else put it in front of me all prepared. Although there are a few things I'd never try, meat or not, because... well... maybe it's the name of them that grosses me out... like headcheese.

I especially liked the last stanza:

I try some grass, and try the lump.
Wow this is heavenly!
I wonder just how long there’s been,
A vegan inside me!

Best of luck in the contest! Great job!

Have a great day and...
  K e e p on W r i t i n g !
