Day 14 - Cookie Temptation
Day 14 prompt:
My favorite sweets are cookies. What are yours? Write a poem about them. The form epulaeryu is really fun for this type of poem...
The Epulaeryu poem is all about delicious food. It consists of seven lines with thirty-three (33) syllables. The first line has seven (7) syllables, the second line five (5), the third line seven (7), the fourth line five (5), the fifth line five (5), the sixth line three (3), and the seventh line has only one (1) syllable which ends with an exclamation mark. The form is 7/5/7/5/5/3/1. Each line has one thought which is about the main course. Therefore, this poetic form, the Epulaeryu, which has corresponding lines built around the main course and ending with an exclamation point, concludes with the ending line expressing the writer’s excitement and feelings about the poem. The poem may be rhymed or unrhymed.

Cookie Temptation

Cookies delight the senses
One or two might do
But surely more will follow
They call and tempt you
Pull you back for more
Can't resist
Yeah!
