Toaster Strudel Trochee

< Toaster Strudel - Trochee I just crave toaster strudel Piping hot pastry Cool icing so can doodle Kellogg's bakery So get to popping me one Time to used noodle Pop tarts boring just no fun Choose toaster strudel Meter: 7/5/7/5 Rhyme Scheme: a/b/c/b or a/b/a/b The meter is trochee, which means alternating stressed and unstressed beats in each line, with each line beginning and ending in a stressed syllable. This is a simple lyrical type little poem, so rhymes will be basic, nothing fancy. The poem itself should give a description of something of interest to the poet and often the meter lends itself to humor, much as a limerick does. There is not a set number of these quatrain type stanzas, but a typical 7/5 Trochee would consist of two quatrains, with the second stanza serving to tie up the idea presented in the first stanza.

Katherine - This is a fun light-hearted poem! I always ate pop tarts...maybe sometime as a treat, I'll try a toaster strudel. Your poem has inspired me to try that sometime. Thanks for stopping by "Casino Cents." Never won as much money as you, but like to try every once in a great while. Hope your day is excellent!
