A Poetry Cooking Contest

if i'm a judge
then don't 
judge me
i will sip
a bit of
this

one and then a bit
of that and then
all the others
six at hand
or should
i say

at mouth and tongue
soups alphabetically 
which have different 
degrees of tastes
after all how
does one

take a taste of haiku
and try to compare
au contraire to
that spicy free
verse not even
melodically

sonorous to the palate
of course simply
a first course
not to even
be paired
with any
whine

yet shall i dine on as tis
my duty to decide that
which is the best
recipe needing
no certain
form

so how to juggle a dessert
poem with a main course
one or even trying
to stuff in a
seconda
i cant

i'm no critic but merely
a hiccup in what is
a smorgasbord
of words and
wonderment
the winner is

BURP!!!!!!!
