A very interesting poetic form. I like it! I also like the message of your poem. Fresh food always trumps the processed stuff. I have a garden, and enjoy the fresh produce.

Have a great week,
Rhonda

    thank you for dropping by to read and review. I appreciate your kind words of encouragement, and I'm jealous of your garden. We are living in an apartment until we buy a house next year, and I will miss fresh picked produce, 😀

What a delicious poem! A most fruitful offering in the style of the Clarity Pyramid, and with all of the delicacies chosen from the right part of the food pyramid we teach our children in school! Fresh from farm to store is the only way to avoid those pernicious additives that destroy us!

You clever lady you!

Your poem is effective as it sums up the essence of natural food. It is life giving and should be plentiful. The photo is a good choice.

Good luck with the contest.

I like clarity pyramids, they are fun and challenging to write and when you get them right they can be very rewarding. I enjoyed your bountiful poem and the accompanying artwork, I'm hungry now, ha ha.

Hi Patty,
What a fine clarity poem! You followed the interesting rules to a tee and your 'foody goody' message came through clearly! :-) Yummy was an excellent word to start with because the food in your well chosen picture really does look yummy! I was going to go to bed without a snack tonight... but after having a look at this one, that is no longer possible!!! Thanks for sharing this great little poem. Smiles, Aggie

An interesting and complex poem. This is not apparent until the Author's notes are read. Mouth-watering and yummy as the poem reads. Good poem...

Yummy food is indeed what we need to survive. Unfortunately, the yummier the food, the more I seem to eat of it. lol You have created your own food pyramid.

Mustang--
Okay, there's food and there's food. There's literal food and there's metaphysical food, maybe. I am not sure why your poem concentrates on one form of food. The literal, it appears. I need, in a poem, a suggestion there is, "food for the soul" somehow. I don't see that here. Hard to get at, conjure. Still worth it.

    thank you for dropping by to read and review. Went totally for the literal here - the poetic form didn't give me much room; I appreciate your kind words of encouragement, 😀

Who couldn't love a poem about food? It brings forth so many visual images of the freshness of farm to table produce, fruit, and a myriad of other delicious products. You succeeded in making me hungry as well as wanting to read more.
