Premium Member New Year Eve Party

Having a party to welcome the New Year !
There will be a great variety of canapes,
and popcorn in flavors, 
hot chicken wings,
cheesy nachos and tacos, 
tear apart garlic bread,
meatballs in a spicy barbecue sauce,
and fruity, frosty margarita's  !
Eggnog custard tarts and Bourbon brownies,
a white chocolate cake with Baileys,
and at exactly midnight we will all
toast the New Year . . .  
with sparkling popped champagne 
in fluted glasses! 
Disclaimer: I will not be responsible
for your hangover on January 2 !

Premium Member Homemade Breads

Freshly baked warm spinach bread
all nutrient packed
and sliced up thick for grilled cheese;
a tasty delight
for those colder nights
oozy cheese,
yum!

Tasty pumpernickel bread,
tuna salad spread;
mustard, mayo, pickle too;
chases away blues
awakens palate
ready lunch,
good!

Potato bread croutons in
a nice green salad,
blue cheese dressing poured upon;
garden fresh onions,
sliced up bell peppers,
fit for kings,
ooh!

Sour dough’s scent fills my kitchen
joyous aroma;
egg salad spread piled between
two slices, oh my.
for dessert some pie
tasty lunch,
Fine!

An Epulaeryu poem is a poem that is entirely about food. It has seven lines with a total of thirty-three syllables. The meter of the poem is set so that it is, 7/5/7/5/5/3/1.

 Welsh cakes are traditional in Wales and have been popular since the late 19th century. I have fond memories of coming home from school to be offered a warm, sugar-sprinkled Welsh cake fresh off the griddle! Delicious!

Premium Member Thanksgiving Praise (Epulaeryu)

O’ bless this Thanksgiving bird
With fine dressing words
From the ground it’s brown and round
Cut me a big mound
Cranberry sauce too
O’ Lord thank
You!

Premium Member Merry Queen of Squash

Pumpkin, merry queen of squash,
regnant on accord.
With a smooth and ribb-ed rind
clad in pepo-orange,
two strikes to sever
from the vine.
Gourd!





*Mary, Queen of Scots was beheaded by order of her cousin Queen Elizabeth of England in
1587.  Detailed accounts record it took two strikes of the axe to sever her head completely.  

**A pumpkin is truly the sovereign of gourd squashes. .  Ironically, the word 'gourd' is also a slang
term for 'head' giving this poem a most appropriate ending whichever way you look at it!.

***The word ribb-ed in the third line is read as two syllables.

Grotesque

Fresh baby berries blue, spread out in afternoon
On a fluffy smooth bed of cheesecake creamery
A surface filled with new red cherries mix
Clean peach slices cold and quite delicious
Fill in foundations on the side of delicate delights
A thin line of chocolate swirls above pure love
Deserts heaven is at the core of tasty pleasure 
Too bad savages can't employ a fork
That would be too easy, normal and what for
Barbarians destroy the mood
Never learned to use a spoon
Filthy hands grab at the cake 
Savages fill their faces full
Stuff it in with wild abandonment
Laughter remains with dirty plates
Manners and crumbs lay on the floor  
 

*(This is an Epulaeryu poem with a twist)

Premium Member Thanksgiving Turkey (Inverse Double Epulaeryu)

Nice turkey for Thanksgiving 
Flavorful tasting
Dressing aroma rising
Temperature on low
Sage wings, breast and thighs
Like a rose
Sweet!
Ahhh!
Chardonnay
Fine cranberry sauce
Well seasoned gravy
Succulent taste such splendor
Cornish hen—it’s last!
Turkey on my plate—gone fast!
