Charcutere Board

Come now and agree, we love a big platter
Heaps of yummy food, causing much chatter.
Arrangements appealing the keys to success 
Remember, fill small bowls so there is no mess.
Cheeses, sharp cheddar, some goat, brie and blue
Using variety, is what you must do.
Top up any gaps with dried fruits, nuts and treats 
Ensure to have grapes and berries so sweet. 
Remember the spreads, hummus dip and tzatziki
Everyone loves crackers, crunchy and crispy, 

Bread sticks around edges. will make it look right
Olives, all colours, the palate’s delight.
Add meats that are salty, savoury and spicey 
Roast pork, some prosciutto, and please add salami.
Don’t forget, pop the cork, raise a glass, to the hostie!

Hi Andrea Thank you for your consideration and I am pleased to be in the mux For some reason when ever I try to bold the first letter it never works on Poetry Soup and if I copy and paste from my computer it never works either, so I just have to go with what this site seems to allow me to do so sorry I did try to bold the letters Anyway i will keep trying ?? Cheers Chris

I think your Acrostic is yummy. I have the same trouble with bolding anything in my poems. I don't have a computer so I post everything from my Samsung phone. I have searched the internet with no luck on how to bold letters. I wish while posting PS offered some options. Very frustrating. If you figure this out, please let me know. Congrats on a great write. -Jan

Technically not an entree but Google says it could be one. I really loved what you wrote. If only you had made each first letter stand out. This was one of my favorite of the acrostics. Congrats on your win
