EPULAERYU

The "Epulaeryu" poem is about delicious food. It consists of seven lines with thirty-three (33) syllables. The first line has seven syllables, the second line five, the third line seven, the fourth line five, the fifth line five, the sixth line three, and the seventh line has only one syllable which ends with an exclamation mark. Each line has one thought relating to the main course. The concluding syllable expressing the writer’s excitement and feelings about the poem. This new poetic form, the Epulaeryu, was created by an American poet Joseph Spence.
