Have a Very Foodie Christmas Poetry Contest
Andrea Dietrich


Each Christmas scooped a punch
Egg milk, cream, and brandy
Enriched with vanilla 
Enhanced with cinnamon 
Ever so a custard
Enjoy it spiked or free
Every sip a classic

The first line of my poem I thought is witty-scooped a punch, which is filled with word play. Think scoop as ladle, a utensil, like ladling a punch bowl. Think punch as with a sting, bite and knockout-which eggnog is.

yum, I bet it's good with a bit of brandy. You chose a great festive drink to write about. Congrats in my contest.

Andrea, always enjoy your contest because it's challenging and fun, where I learn new forms. Thank you.
