Kebabs (Epulaeryu).

I like all sorts of kebabs
There is the Donner
Then there is the Adana
And of course the Shish
All with fresh salad,
Pita bread
Great!

Epulaeryu:

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. The Epulaeryu poem was developed by Joseph Spence, Sr. The name
of the poetic form was selected as a result of experiencing the Mediterranean and Far East cultures,
and enjoying many succulent and nourishing meals and food during those memorable travels.
