Chicken Corn Soup

Inverse Double Epulaeryu Cut chicken bite -size pieces season well to taste, Then you add corn on the cob put to boil, don't haste, Add chives and onions then carrots Yea! Now! potatoes then pumpkin and yams, and salted butter, Sprinkle in some black pepper thicken with cream corn, Now enjoy Chicken Corn Soup! The poem starts with the regular format of seven syllables in the first line and progress down to one syllable in the seventh and last line. However, the second section starts with an inverse of the first section, whereby the poem starts with the seventh and last line of one syllable and ends with the first line of seven syllables. The form is 7/5/7/5/5/3/1/ and inverse 1/3/5/5/7/5/7. This form was invented by Joseph S. Spence, Sr.
