F F I series finale

Bon Appétit !

Poetry form:  Epulaeryu - A poem that is entirely about food. It has seven lines with a grand total of thirty-three syllables. The meter of the poem is set so that it is, 7/5/7/5/5/3/1.  The poem is supposed to revolve entirely around the dish. Each line is supposed to present information about it. The end of an Epulaeryu poem ends with an exclamation point because the poem itself is about the writer's excitement and enjoyment toward the dish that they are writing about. The final line, the one-syllable word is meant to sum up the feelings that the writer has. The Epulaeryu poem is a way to express these positive feelings about food and is a fun way to do so.


Poetic delicacies, Chilled haiku sake, Sautéed clerihew au jus, Free-range limericks baked to perfection, Footle fries, Yum!

A very clever take on the theme,Mark. By the way, there are only two placements with these blogs. Brian either gives an HM or a PP but no ranking within that criteria so we all broke the final ribbon together!!
