Chocolate

I’m a true choco-holic,
It makes me frolic
Chocolate is always so good
It’s an awesome food
It is never viewed
As useless
Yes!

Seven Lines, 24 words, 33 Syllables to fit the Epulaeryu style.

Epulaeryu ▶︎

The Epulaeryu is 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.
