Welcome To the Feast

A hearty welcome to the feast.
I’m your host, the rhyming beast.
Great dishes I’ve prepared for you.
Please try each one on the menu.
Start out with the parodoxes
in these pizza looking boxes.

The more of them that you consume,
the more your stomach will have room
for all the other poets’ dishes.
Try Anachronism fishes.
Have some fun.
Taste a pun!

You might like a synonym.
Its flavor tastes like cinnamon.
Yes, similies I’ve plenty of,
and many of them taste like love!
The homonyms are often suite
and every metaphor’s a treat.

Taste tropical alliteration,
juxtaposed for a sensation.
For Onomatopoeia – Slurp!
Otherwise, it makes you burp.
Sip relaxing imagery
in a sweet green herbal tea.

Perhaps imbibe a nice red wine
while on a limerick you dine.
There are many plates to sample.
Sonnets and Rondeau are ample.
Try Haiku, Pantoum, Triolet,
and Villanelle for the gourmet!

Free verse, I’ll tell you by the way,
is likely not Soup of the Day.
Eat rhyme and let your taste buds burst.
Let flowing verses quench your thirst.
The feast is an extravaganza.
Bet you can’t eat just one stanza!

I have treats set aside in a basket. Those are your poems that I look forward to catching up on. Since I need to dwell rather than skim through them, waiting for my crisis to abate is the reason I put off. It's like waiting for the babies to be asleep, in order to enjoy dinner. In the meantime, this is fantastic! (No need to visit my poems. No new ones)

This is so clever, it may be one of my top Andrea poems. From start to end, wit and rhyme blend in an impressive and entertaining poem. It was totally delicious to all my taste buds. (I've been too busy for my body lately, just a p.s.) Love ... CayCay
