About the Epulaeryu poem: The Epulaeryu poem is all about delicious food. It consists of seven lines with thirty-three (33) syllables.
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. (I have chosen to rhym most of mine, because I feel the flow and excitement is seen better that way).

This is my first time writing Epulaeryu poems, and I hope to continue doing so! It is great fun, and I’m glad there is a poem format showing appreciation of food : )

Anyway, I hope you enjoy these delectable poems I have created and set out for you, and please don’t forget to review when you’re done!

Enjoy.

PS: The poems are in no specific order, save the order in which I thought of them. There will be three per “chapter” in this collection : )


Pickles

Dill, kosher, bread n’ butter
Hide them from others!
For if you didn’t, it would
Be a waste; pickles
Only you should taste.
Take a bite –
Crunch!


Apple Picking and Pie

Picking apples in autumn.
They hit the bottom
Of the baskets and the trees.
You can hear how good
In an apple pie
They will be.
Yum!


Celery

This plant is green and crunchy
Perfect for munchies.
You know, when you get hungry?
Eat your celery
With milk and honey.
It’s scrumptious,
Yeah!
