Wow, that's so delicious and well described, my mouth is watering. Honestly, I don't think I've ever read something that appealed to my sense of taste as much as this did. I really enjoyed reading this.

    Hi May 1,
    I'd forgotten about this poem. It was my first palindrome and took some time to work out. I am so glad you enjoyed it and it made your mouth water.

Debi,

I missed this entry as I was not on the site at the time.
Congratulations on your win! This is a difficult form
and you were so successful in making a very yummy,
delicious poem that makes perfect sense forwards
and backwards.

I enjoyed reading it,
Linda

    Thank you, Linda. My first win. Yeah! I appreciate you taking time to go back to read and review this poem since I entered the contest in July and the contest didn't close until December. I almost forgot I entered. I have only written two palindromes and it may be a while before I attempt one again. Whew!

    Have a wonderful holiday season!

    I had to go back and check out your palindrome. I remember it. I thought it was great. The sad thing about the site contests is you don't get to see all the entries like you do for the prompts so it is easy to miss them.

    True...yes...mine was 7 words...lol

Hi Debi,

You develop a wonderful aroma with this solid Palindrome...indeed, my mouth watered at the delicious description of the baked fare!

Rats! Now I'm hungry and I'll bet there isn't a muffin or roll to be found around our diet ridden home, lol.

Still...great job and all my best for your entries success!

~ Bill

Debie this is a very good Palindrome poem. It reads backwards so very well that it sounds perfect and not contrived in any way. Very clever to manage to do this. So both the first way and the backwards way both sound very good. A good entry for the contest - Good Luck - warm regards Dorothy x

    Thank you for the great review. It is nice to hear that it doesn't sound contrived. I tried a Palindrome several times, but I usually give up because I cannot make it work. I appreciate the encouragement. Debi

Hi Debby,

What an interesting poetry form and you did such a good job writing it. I'm into baking fresh rolls from scratch so I could really relate. Great descriptions!

Hugs,
Lou

    Hi Lou,
    Oh, I am with you. Fresh baked rolls from scratch are the best way to go, especially right out of the oven.

Hi, Debi. Besides making me hungry for fresh-baked rolls, I'm very impressed with your great contest entry. I don't think I could come up with this style of poetry no matter how hard I tried. Impressive!

Good luck in the contest.

:) Bev

    Hi Bev,
    I'm flattered that the poem made you hungry for some fresh-baked rolls. Thanks for the good luck wishes. With the contest deadline in December, I'm not sure I'll even remember I entered, but it was a fun puzzle to put together. Debi

    Well, as they say, you've got to strike while the iron is hot. Plus, December is a good month for home-baked goodies :)

Hi, deb. I think you have the winner here...I know it is with me. You make me want to run up the street and buy a donut. LOL. Just kidding. I think your palindrome is well done and could easily wein the contest. Good Luck. Bob

    Hi Bob,
    Donuts, huh? Sounds like a character you write about. Cleve seems to like donuts.
    Thank you for the kind comments about the writing. The contest deadline is in December so I may even forget I entered. At any rate, I like puzzles and the palindrome was a fun word puzzle to put together. Debi
